I would agree with the comment in that article about this being a comparative "paradise" from a spider/bug standpoint. I spent much of my life in Arizona, where venomous and/or creepy critters like scorpions, black widows, tarantulas and big centipedes can be pretty common.

I lived in Seattle for 9 years, and moved to Phoenix 3 years ago. I remember finding giant spiders in my apartment only two or three times in the 9 years I spent in Seattle, so as far as I know, they are not a big problem. And, they are gentle, harmless, and rather slow moving. Smaller spiders are a little more often found, but they are really tiny.
In Arizona, we have tarantulas, black widows, scorpions, and a number of other creepy critters. I would take a giant spider over those any day.
