Dear Laura,
This is a Western Sculptured Pine Borer, Chalcophora angulicollis, a species pictured on BugGuide.  According to BugGuide:  “Dark brown to black, sculptures on upper side, irridescent bronze luster, especially on underside. Fly noisily when alarmed. The only western species in the genus.”
