I happened to notice this (guy?) on one of the dead fronds of a fern in my garden. It is very well camouflaged!

Family Phalangiidae
If this is Phalangium opilio it is a female. I don't think that it is possible to tell without significantly more detail...particularly because it was taken in Washington, and I am more familiar with eastern representatives.

However, it is certainly a member of family Phalangiidae.
