I'm 98% certain of the species ID but have not had it confirmed by an expert. There are 180 species of Echinoderms in the Pacific Northwest, but this one seems pretty unique in the descriptions (largest seastar in the PNW; 16-24 arms -- this specimen appears to have 16), and matches the pictures of it online.

This closeup of a juvenile Pisaster was taken to show details of the seastar's dorsal surface. Blue rings surround pink spines, and tiny yellow pincers, pedicellariae, encircle the rings. Skin gills protrude from dark recesses.

Despite the blue colour variation, I'm lead to believe it is the Common Starfish, though feel free to correct me.
