They're not unheard of in your region - I think they originally landed in Port of Seattle, and have been spreading from there ever since. <br /><br />They're not supposed to be dangerous unless backed into a corner, and they're actually beneficial for the reason you saw: they chase off other, more poisonous spiders. I wouldn't want to find one in bed with me, but as far as giant spiders go, you're probably rooming with the best. <br /><br />Good luck with the new home!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-55511428974129449542013-11-12T21:14:53.806-08:002013-11-12T21:14:53.806-08:00Wow.
