It looks like a trap door spider to me. Try this link and see if the images look similar: https://usaspiders.com/ummidia-trap-door-spider/
Thanks Moody! I don’t know much about Trap Door Spiders yet. Maybe https://bugguide.net/node/view/23442 Antrodiatus? I went to BugGuide >Mygalomorphae data > Washington State. There are species in the genus with ventral yellow markings, like the bilateral yellow markings visible at the anterior of the abdomen of this spider.
