INSECTS: What is this creature?

I wonder if any readers can help me identify this insect. It's an inch and a quarter long, antennae included, and I find one wandering around the house every few days. When I put its photo up on social media I got several different answers. Some say it's the so-called assassin bug, which is getting all kinds of bad press, but reader "Mr. S" thinks it's a harmless Western Conifer Seed Bug. Any entomological advice would be welcomed.
Tilda wants to know what kind of bug this is.
