From Rod Crawford:
Based on the habitat, it would probably be A. nordmanni or A. saevus.
It's by no means easy to tell from the coloration - even A. marmoreus
sometimes look like this. In this habitat and site, nordmanni would be the most common.

A. bicententarius (non-Northwest) can look almost exactly like this
photo. I have a typical A. nordmanni here.

But this form is not that unusual See bugguide image.
Orbweaver coloration is just too variable.

A. nordmanni?
I agree with Lynette. Here is a link to John and Jane's specimen (also found in Washington on a mountain!): A. nordmanni.

Very nice. Did you take any shots from the other side?
