It would appear that two things are happening here:
1 The photographer heard a scratching sound on their door
2 An un-nerving being was seen through the door window
Lets look at this from a logical eye:
1 The sound:
An animal could have been scratching at the door. In and around Olympia we have these creatures called Raccoons, and if feed can get large. Some times these mysterious creature will try and claw their way into a house if they smell food.
2 The window creature:
Looking at the pictures of the door it would appear to be an older home (or at least the door is an older door) given this fact we can also assume that the door has the original glass panels still in it. Older glass has a characteristic of distortions from both aging and manufacturing flaws. These flaws can be seen (thanks to pareidolia) as having faces in them from time to time.
So here we have a person that hears a scratching sound at their door. The expectation is that something must be making this sound. That something might be large if the sound is large. Upon getting to the door they notice some kind of image in the glass. The image in the glass looks large, and might appear (to the viewer) to have claws. Conclusion; the scratching must be made by the image in the door.

I could go on as to the time of day (in this case night) could have played a part in the mis-identified image, or how certain items are now legal in Washington State could have played a part in this, but I will just leave this as a mis-identified image being seen by through the corruption of a mysterious sound.
So unless a further detailed investigation takes place on this, I'm going with accidental mis-identification.
I think an easy way of determining if this story has merit would be to have the original photographer take similar pictures of the glass in the door during similar lighting.

I am not trying to convince anyone this is true without even me being certain about it. I wanted to know if there is any info of it being true or a hoax, and what kind of fallacies you would find if fake. I thank those posts that have done some sort of personal analysis even if to say why it is not a creature and also the posts that support me for making this rather speculative story.
I will try to get more info on this one to know if more info can lead me either to a fabrication or something else..
