We found this today outside the building where we work. Could it be a Banded Garden Spider?
Has to be one of the coolest looking spiders I have see here in NW Washington!
The underneath of this spider has 2 yellow stripes that run lengthwise down its Abdomen. The Spider is about an inch long, I would guess...

I think you're right with the Banded Garden Orbweaver (Argiope trifasciata)

Yours looks very similar to this one: http://bugguide.net/node/view/33307/bgimage

I don't see it in the BugFiles. Maybe you should add it. Here's a pic of the ventral side.
