That is not ash. Ash has thicker shoots. or buds. I am going to say an elm.. maybe a maple. I think elm.
I have ash everywhere here, cut some recently:)

Don't you reckon it would have been helpful to put pics of the leaves in the first place? ::)  Come on now, work with us for Pete's sake! >:( ;) ;D.  Seriously though,  it is much easier to determine the species if you have all the available clues.  Otherwise, you get dummies like me using the SWAG (scientific wild a$$ guess) method to try and determine the species.  Obviously not a reliable method of identification.  Josh

The first two are winged elm. I think people say anything with wierd bark is hackberry..... which doesn't even have wings on the twigs. The last one isn't maple because it has alternate leaves. Not sure what it is, I'm a long way from Washington.

Winged elm.....who'd a thunk it?  I've never seen it before so i googled it.  Yep, sure enough. That explains the odd diamond pattern furrows.  I hadn't seen Hackberry do that before.  Once again, learned something new on here.  Josh

I think there is a real good chance that they are all Elm.
It wont be much longer and the leaves will be out.
Then we will be able to make a better Guess.

They all look like winged elm to me. The bark on the trunk and limbs of winged elm changes as the tree gets older. I have a winged elm thicket across the road from my house with trees of all different sizes. I'll go out and snap some pics for you to compare them to if you want me to. The leaves look like typical elm leaves except smaller.
