She is probably Araneus diadematus, a Cross Orbweaver. She’s quite pale. I’m surprised she’s alive and looking robust in late January. Female orbweavers usually hatch in Autumn and die the next Autumn. I actually just checked a map to make sure Oregon is where I think it is. Yes, it is still a Northern state, not a tropical paradise. As you are well aware.
