Philodromidae.
This is the ventral (underside) of the spider, viewed through a window, correct? The length of the second pair of legs (longer than the first pair) is a hallmark of philodromids. Some species are quite common in Oregon, especially Philodromus dispar, but without additional images, it would not be wise to speculate further.

Thank you, Eric
Yes it is the underside of the spider. Did you see the other spider on the leaf next to this one? I thought they were the same type only smaller.
