Yeah, I guess I should have clarified that by "SF" I meant the SF Bay Area. "East Bay" could presumably be a lot of places, sort of like "Tri State" which I see all the time but I never know what three states it refers to since there are lots of "tri state" areas.Leave a comment:

SF is west bay, I'm pretty far over the hill in the east bay. It's a lot hotter and drier over here. We have tarantulas too. Hurray!Leave a comment:

I assume "East Bay" is SF? This does look a little big to me for that area, but I'm not really familiar with species on the west coast like I am those on the east coast.
Anyway thanks for sharing. It is a real beauty!Leave a comment:

Yeah it's a common wolf spider, I've never seen them this big though so it was a little freaky. I put it safely outside. I think it's female because today in my bathroom I saw two baby spiders skittering around. I wonder where she dropped em al!?Leave a comment:

Wow! That is a really beautiful spider (I am a university researcher with a background in identifying spiders/spider behavior).
Most definitely a member of the genus Hogna, though I couldn't say more without getting a look at its genitals (seriously, that is how you identify these things).
I hope you didn't kill it. I can't tell from the picture if it is a male or female, but it looks like it might be a male, plus they are known to wander a bit more while in search of mates.
Spiders in general almost never bite so it really isn't anything to worry about. Even if it did it would be just like a bee sting. The oft-reported "brown recluse bite" is nearly always something much more mundane (more often than not it is MRSA that has been misdiagnosed).Leave a comment:
