Ceuthophilus agassizii
There are two genera in your area, Ceuthophilus and Pristoceuthophilus. Pristoceuthophilus males have a lot of bumps and tubercles on the abdomen. This is Ceuthophilus agassizii, the one most commonly seen in dry habitats in the northwest.

Thanks!
Thanks for the ID you've made, Its great to have a Northwest researcher looking at the submissions!

By the way, is this the same species, or even ID-able to genus/species?

Probably
It probably is Ceuthophilus agassizii, but hard to tell in the compact position it's in. But it's definitely Ceuthophilus, as you can see by the very smooth abdomen (though that character wouldn't hold for females).
