Wife found this thing this morning. She's from the Midwest and they are prevalent there. But, in Lake Tahoe?

Looks like some type of spider to me but I'm not sure...

It sure looks like a brown recluse. A very leggy one, at that!
This one might have a couple more pixels.

If or, then why?

Do you live in the green area? If yes, then maybe. If no, then no.
No. See second portion of username. Thanks for this moment of relief. I'm hoping some experts can chime in as I do not own a flamethrower.

Pacific Northwest? Eratigena atrica probably. They're big leggy bastards but totally harmless.
Many spiders are very frequently misidentified as brown recluses. And many ..infections/other are mis diagnosed as spider bites
It leads to a lot of people that will absolutely insist there was a brown recluse, or bite in their area.
but unless you live in that green, or recently traveled from that green, it's very unlikely.
Thank you.
