Unknown Spider - Steatoda grossa

Unknown Spider - Steatoda grossa
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
October 20, 2006
Size: body 4mm
I was wondering if this is a Hacklemesh Weaver of some sort? I see them often, they just are usually in dark areas and moving to a hiding place when I come across them.
This one was found under a large piece of bark in the garden.
An ID to species would be appreciated, if possible.
Thanks

Thank you
I should have known, since they are all over my yard, and it had the "triangles" on the abdomen...
