Had to be taken as long shots. They were along a burn edge under trees - fir, alder, willow mix, ground very wet.

It's a milkwort. Can't really see the details of the leaves, but do look opposite in which case Heath Milkwort, Polygala serpyllifolia, which is found only on acid soils.

Milkworts are variable in colour with various blues, purples, pinks + whites. There are Common + Heath Milkwort (there isn't a marsh one) your way with the latter on acid soils + the former on neutral to basic soils.
