Where? - Near water? - I am not near water, should I take it to a lake?

I don't think it belongs here, I think it escaped or something, I would just like to know if it is native to Washington.

On second thought, after reading the other posts I would call your local zoo.

BINGO!

It probably escaped someone's Calaveras Frog Jump training camp.

Oh, it's probably a native, they're just about everywhere. Ponds mostly. Just let it go, it wasn't lost until you picked it up.

Orrrrr... if you can find 2 or 3 more, the legs breaded and pan-fried make a great meal, and they even look enough like chicken legs so they won't freak you out too bad....

Or, ya could just do what I used to do with them when I was a kid, but you'll need some firecrackers for that... ;)

Bullfrogs are found in Washington State. However, they are an introduced (non-native) species. Then again, in regards to Washington State, so am I. ;-)

Any swampy wetlands nearby? They hang out all around here in Michigan...as long as there's a little water, there's bullfrogs.
