99.99% chance it was tossed from someone's rock collection, or else from a traintrack bed or even road bed. Definitely not from a local outcrop......sometimes locals in some places refer to mystery rocks as meteorites!
I like the ol' guy who confidently told me many decades ago: " There are three type of rocks...flint rock, limey rock, and old field rock."
If it was only that simple!

Heads up; in order to assusage my guilt from interrupting their journey to the ocean trench, I liberated my rock collection by tossing them in to the Sauk River a few years ago. I tossed in rocks from the Teanaway River, the Pacific and Atlantic ocean, novelty rocks with scenes etched into them, and maybe even rocks from the city park in Etna,WY.
Someday, a geologist is going to really have an exciting day. Or a big headache. Or both.

Cool.
Yes, it’s very strange. I am 95% certain I picked up that rock on my beach.
If not there, then MAYBE at snoqualmie River last summer. But it was a recent find, and I don’t travel far. |
(* if it was on the South Fork Snoqualmie, it would have been in the immediate vicinity of Exit 47 *)
(* and I think a good portion of my rock "collection" (such as it was) ended up dumped into the Nisqually River after I poured an "exposed aggregate" porch pad up at the cabin. most of those rocks came from Kalaloch Beach #1 *)
(* not sure what happened to the rocks I picked up while I was working on the road, but there were sure a lot of them. Wyoming and Colorado and Utah have some pretty interesting rocks. it's possible they're in a flowerbed somewhere over off East Vickery Road *)
