I'm not sure donhe's original suggesttion of S. catocaloides can be easily ruled out as the suggested ID for this moth species (see donhe's comment above). Based on the first photo image the forewing markings are a good match for S. catocaloides. See here:-
https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=369563
Similarly. the hindwing pattern is also similar to S. catocaloides. however the hindwing spots appear yellow here rather than red.
I do not think this moth matches S. magnifica for the forewing or hindwing pattern based on the BOLD4 evidence, see here
https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=369559
Further, the BOLD4 records of S. catocaloides originate from a similar region oF WA as does this specimen, Kalbarri NP in Mid West WA. See also

I think this is Delma grayii, which unless I'm mistaken is a first for NatureMapr.

Good one. Yes the forewing pattern does look like that of the WA species Synemon catocaloides.
