I live in the Seattle area and have never seen a spider like this before...so what is it. Is there anything to worry about?

I was working on my truck (putting in an engine I got from Minnesota) when it ran by. So, I don't if it was a stow-away, or something new in the neighborhood.

Thanks!

The spider you have there is a male trap-door spider
a type of tharaphosid

I live in the Shoreline area and a big male crawled in the house and the only I can describe it is "Burly"! Don't know what it is but it's native. I remember seeing them as a kid over in Kitsap.

Thats a really good picture. I recently just caught a spider and I think its is a trap door but the legs seem to be a bit thicker then this one in the picture.. It seems not eat anything I give it either I will have to put a picture up to show you guys.
