Moved
Pimoa altioculata is the only listed species in WA on the Nearctic Spider Database. I hope that is reliable.

EDIT....

R. Crawford says that there are 2 other Pimoa
spp. in Washington, P. curvata and P. haden, but my ID is correct.

Wow,
it's great to find some new stuff. This will be the second new spider for me since moving to WA. I guess that makes up for the serious lack of bugs in general. (I'm in withdrawal.) Thanks for the info.
