I assume they are Pacific Dampwood.

Moved
They are Dampwood termite workers, but there are two species possible. Differentiation can be based on location (low altitude vs. high) with help from historical records, or by microscopic identification of the mandibles.
Moved from Isoptera (Termites).

 
Thanks
John.
