Moved from
Psylloidea
. After further review I'm convinced. There are a lot of images of
C. nebulosa
and they never seem to get this dark, but it's a dead ringer for
schwarzi
, see:

That makes this a new species for the guide - nice!

Craspedolepta, possibly Craspedolepta schwarzi
One of the
Epilobium angustifolium
feeders, of which there are 2 currently recognized (both in your area):
C. schwarzi
(including
C. alaskensis
) and
C. nebulosa
. All keys are based on the genitalia and so I can't be positive from this photo, but based on the species descriptions and images I've seen of both species, the thick, bold wing maculae appears to favor
C. schwarzi
. Awesome find.
