In BC hobo spiders are found, but the giant house spider is much more common:

In a basement suite I was in Vancouver I used to live in, I found a couple of spiders aorund 3-4 inches in diameter. They were tough #######s. I couldn't kill them with a broom, only pin them temporarily. It took 5 or 6 good wacks with the broom pan to finish them off. Thankfully, I've only ran across them a few times during my time in Vancouver.
