Insect and Spider Identification: CLOSED: Arachnid fans: can you ID this spider found underwater?, 0 by Poochella

I've tried to read and google and just can't even find a good starting point, now understanding that markings do not necessarily make an ID in the spider world. I'm not willing to look further into its anatomy to help in ID either, unless you tell me it's dead. Sorry.

This gal or fellow is under about 6 inches of water in a floral bucket. I will confess I haven't disturbed it, (other than taking a couple photos) to see if it's alive. I'd guess leg span to be about 1.75 inches x 2 inches but being underwater could magnify that a bit.

It is in the Cascade foothills, well beyond suburbia in near wilderness, just outside the garage. It might like floral preservative, slightly acid ph, slightly high in carbohydrates! Do you think if it were dead, it would be curled up or something? It's been splayed out like this for hours.

I appreciate any hints or positive ID attempts out there. Sorry the photo is blurry.
