Willowherb sp? Epilobium ciliatum?

Apologies if this is a duplicate.  I tried posting from the Google group site, but my post does not show up. Maybe photos are too large?

Attaching not very good photos of some kind of willowherb.  I had been pulling it, but maybe it is a native.  Some are nearly 6 feet tall.  

Opinions on identification?  Native to the valley or not?  Pull or not?

Posting here to see if the plants in these not very good photos can be identified.  One is nearly 6 feet tall. There are so many kinds of "willowherb" (epilobium) I now realize.  I had been pulling these out of my native garden, thinking they were non-native, but now see there are some that are native. Remove or no?  Anyone want to venture an opinion ?
