Last summer we found a large spider. It was stuck inside a bucket of water and couldn't crawl out. My daughter, who was 9 at the time scooped it up and put it in a plastic container. I googled 'big venomous spiders in Washington state', (of course) and the spider she found looked just like a Hobo spider. 
The container that we kept the big spider in got left outside accidently :innocent: and unfortunately died in the early morning sun. This summer however, I've found a few spiders that look just like the big one my daughter found last summer only slightly smaller.
I was just curious if anyone else in the U.S. has noticed a new appearance or increase in this species of spiders.
