Let them take the honeybees, and leave our natives alone....

I saw that on websites yesterday, but thought it was a sponsored ad. Now I'm just sad.

Here's a somewhat less sensationalized version from WA Dept of Agriculture: https://agr.wa.gov/departments/insects-pests-and-weeds/insects/hornets
Usefully, they provide images and comparisons to native hornets. And an embedded webinar!

Washington also has a trapping program for anyone interested in maintaining traps. As this is a species native to Japan, the Pacific Northwest is very similar in latitude and geography, it may be restricted in its range. But as that can't be certain, hopefully a good trapping system will help control its numbers. How we inflict ourselves with plagues! We just can't seem to prevent events like this from happening.
