Hi Jenna and thanks for your picture of your mystery flower. It is St. John's Wort. Although there are some cultivars which are probably OK, it is actually considered a Level B invasive plant in Oregon. It shouldn't be too hard to remove through pulling by hand, especially since it is not widespread in your yard yet.

Thanks so much for getting it identified and for having a native plant garden in your yard!
