"...a native spider found only in the Pacific NW. It is not dangerous, but if it should happen to bite a person (unlikely) it is painful, about like a yellowjacket sting. The bite responds to over the counter sting remedies, and has no ill effects other than the 'ouch.' ... this is a forest spider which takes over the house-spider niche when the brown European house spiders aren't present."
