Need some help with this yard tree. I’m not familiar with it, not native to this area as far as I know.

Best tool I've found is if you have a phone use Google Lens, do the leaves and the bark.

At first I was guessing something in the hickory family, maybe pignut? But on the west coast, maybe Chinese pistache , chinaberry? Does it have blossoms in the spring?

Does the foliage turn brilliant orange in the fall?

I do and have used google lens, it’s pretty good although not always, as in this case it shows the bark as oak and the leaves as ash. I am no ash expert but it definitely looks different than our local Oregon Ash.

No blossoms to my knowledge and in the fall I would say normal fall color foliage, not a brilliant orange. Also does not produce nuts of any sort.

I'm going to guess Elm. Not sure which kind though. Are the leaves saw toothed? hard to see in the pics.

Maybe not Elm, the leaves are not staggered off the stem.

My Google lense based on the leaves gave Chinese pistachio or Arizona walnut

Hmm I’m going to have to look those up, never heard of either!

It is merely AI and I'm no west coast connoisseur....
But suggestions is where one starts...

Very small saw tooth edges on the leaves, will try to get a better photo today. I looked up chinese pistache tree, and it has similarities but doesn’t seem quite right.

I don’t think it’s a native tree. Opposite leaves and compound leaves are usually the territory of Ash. All of the leaves I see have more than 6 leaflets while ash have 6.

But what it is, no idea.

That is a west coast Hellifino tree.

Manchurian Ash (Olive Family), Possibly Black Ash

I looked these two up and I think your right, real close to both of them. Thanks!

The combination of the pictures (but mostly the leaves) confirm a form of ash, since you are washington most likely oregon ash or was a planted non native green ash (since that is what it really looks like tbh). Im from WI and we are flooded with ash trees, unfortunately most are dying from the EAB
