Comments & ID Thoughts
Seen similar unidentified submissions from WA recently, but this spider was shiny and jet black except the abdomen. Couldn't find anything similar on a few Pacific Northwest spider ID sites, and it looks like an Australian funnel web spider?? We do have some funnel weavers in this region but nothing I found that really looks like this. It was around 3 - 4 cm long.

I’m guessing a Folding Door Spider (Antrodiaetus sp.).
(Antrodiaetus Pacificus) male it looks, probably wandered during mating season.
