Enoplognatha ovata. Found indoors. Slow moving, resembles what I would think an albino male black widow would look like.
Bright yellow pollution loving lichens cover the trees here. The evernia and the parmelia look strange, stunted and contorted.
I believe this is Evernia prunastri but it is quite stunted from the air pollution in Tacoma. Tacoma is an official "dirty air city".
Bright yellow nitrogen loving lichens were the most dominant here and that is a sign of pollution.
