These spiders are commonly found in the Pacific Northwest:

Hobo Spider

Tegenaria agrestis; Aggressive house spider. Female hobo spiders make funnel webs while males typically roam in search of a mate. Male venom contains a powerful toxin which causes necrotic arachnidism or constriction of blood flow to cells. This can result in skin and/or muscle tissue death. This is similar to the venom of a Brown Recluse. Victims also often report experiencing flu-like symptoms.

Yellow Sac Spider

Cheiracanthium inclusum. Yellow sac spiders do not build webs. They construct silken sacs in protected areas, such as within a leaf, under landscape materials or logs, or at the junction of a wall and ceiling. They use this sac as their daytime retreat. The venom of the yellow sac spider contains a cytotoxin, a cell-killing toxin similar to that of a hobo spider or brown recluse.

Western Black Widow

Latrodectus hesperus. Black widow spiders are sensitive to light, commonly seen undercover, in crawl spaces, and at night. Females are jet black with a red hourglass design on the underside of the large abdomen. Males are white, yellow, or cocoa brown, often speckled or streaked. The female’s venom, a neurotoxin, is harmful to humans. Most bite victims report localized pain, swelling, and overall nausea. In acute cases, difficulty breathing and even fatality have occurred.

Wolf Spider

Lycosidae. Found around the world, female wolf spiders carry their eggs in a round silken globe sac attached to the spinnerets at the end of the abdomen. This allows the spider to carry her unborn young with her. Immediately after the spiderlings emerge, they clamber up their mother’s legs and crowd onto her abdomen. The wolf spider is poisonous but the bite is not necrotic and generally not harmful to humans. Many report experiencing swelling, redness, and mild pain at the site of the bite for a few days.

Daddy Long Legs

Pholcus phalangioides; Cellar spider, vibrating spider, or skull spider. Cellar spiders are one of the most common spiders found inside the home. As their name suggests, they are found in cellars, as well as closets, attics, and sheds. Their webs are irregular, prone to wobbly, vibrating movements that confuse predators and prey. Contrary to popular lore, it is not true that daddy long legs would be the most toxic spider on the planet if it weren’t for their small mouth. They are capable of biting humans but are harmless.

House and Garden Spiders

There are a number of other spiders commonly found in the Pacific Northwest. They include the domestic house spider, gigantic house spider, crab spider, cross spider, jumping spider, orb weavers, callobius severus, trap-door spider, and more. Although many will bite, reactions are usually no worse than a bee sting, unless allergic to their venom. However, when left uncontrolled, spiders can become a nuisance in and around our homes.
