Upon posting to the unidentified albumMy guess is that this is either a Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) or a Zerene Fritillary (S. zerene). I come to these suggestions by eliminating all other large as not likely to be here in Clatsop County. See:

This is for wildlife id kind of like being top-roped while taking drugs for acrophobia--not the way it should be done.
Access to state and county butterfly checklists can be had through:
