I finally managed to capture a single image of this wasp before it flew out of camera range. Found nectaring??? on mint in the yard.

Eumenes? or something else?

Eumenes female.
Looks like she has actually captured a caterpillar....This is probably Eumenes crucifera, a common species in the Pacific Northwest.
