Looks like Ulolonche disticha (10573) or U. dilecta (10572)
MPG maps agree too, and show a cluster of sightings within 100 miles. MPG and BugGuide seem to lean towards U. disticha. PNW Moths seems to show a match as U. dilecta.

The wings in the posted images are somewhat overlapping, whereas the two supporting images below (of U. disticha) are either apart (top), or perfectly touching (bottom). See edited image for better wing comparison.
