Draeculacephala crassicornis
The dark-tipped antennae and the relatively slender wings confirm this identification. There is a slightly larger and stouter species further south (and also at Vancouver), D. bivoltina, that looks much the same.

Thanks Andy - appreciate the help! Will watch out for the other species this summer in case we have it here too.
