The bananas are from Ecuador. I work in the produce department found it at the bottom of the box.

Hi, this is a Flattie (Selenops sp./Selenopidae). Non-native to your area.

Hi. the spider is a huntman spider, Sparassidae family, quite harmless. I don’t see it as our native species so possibly survived he journey from Equador.
These wouldn’t survive wild in Wa. so best kept for a pet.
