Pentidotea (Idotea) wosnesenkii is a common aquatic isopod found in tidepools on the Washington coast. The resources on marine ispods are few and far between. This is the only species I know for a fact occurs where you spotted it and it looks remarkably alike. I'm hesitant to suggest the ID because I don't know if this is the only marine isopod that occurs there nor do I know if these are something that can't be told apart until you get them under a microscope.
