'IDing party' for Northwestern Blow Flies
Welcome to this IDing party journal post! There are currently 1,706 Calliphoridae that need ID in the northwest. Let's work together to chip away at these!
Let us know if you're joining in the comments section, where we can share the interesting observations we encounter and keep up-to-date.

I'll join, but I'd like you to know I don't know much about insects. I doubt I can get anything to genus or species.
Well, try your best! Also @fluffyinca -- there are a lot of people who give species IDs on their observations (usually based on the AI) in cases where they shouldn't go past genus or even family. Dealing with these is also a big way you might be able to help.
