Location
It flew in from the trees around my deck and landed on my keyboard. Larger than one key length so definitely 1/2 inch at least (body only). I'm surrounded by cedar, Douglas fir and maple so assumed it a borer of some type.

Semanotus litigiosus...
Female of Semanotus litigiosus I would guess.

Too well marked
for S. litigiosus. With the size cleared up, I stand with S. ligneus, the cedar tree borer.

unsure
initially I thought something like Semanotus ligneus but the size stated is too big... What were you including in your size estimate?

Size
I listed total length including antennae. Body from abdomen to head was approximately 3/4 of an inch. Sorry...new here.

No problem!
Usually sizes are standardized from head to rear end, I kinda had a feeling you had included the antennae, but all is well..
