Did some exploration and Fomitopsis pinicola sounds appropriate.
GreenBugs
There's a few different versions or color patterns for the edge of Fomitopsis pinicola, so that would be a starter suggestion rather than an exact ID. They are very common shelf mushrooms or polypores of the Pacific Northwest http://greennature.com/article92.html
