Yes, the eye arrangement
of a Wolf spider, Lycosidae. Did you take a dorsal image that you can add?

Agreed
A couple of years back I ran across Arctosa littoralis on the beaches of SC. According to noted Lycosid expert F. Punzo, these spiders are found across the United States, so the fact that you found yours in Washington and I have seen them on the East Coast is consistent with their distribution.

Yes, the eye arrangement, at least what I am able to see suggest that this is indeed a wolf spider. What size was the spider? A. littoralis is a fast moving small/medium sized spider. The coloring and camouflage certainly make me think A. littoralis.
