While it can sometimes spread aggressively from seed, it is NOT considered invasive in the PNW. It is cultivated widely in area gardens - great low moisture shade plant - and frequently offered for sale by local nurseries. There is a BIG difference between a noxious invasive and a sometimes garden thug. Often goes by the quaint common name of "lords and ladies".

Here is what I think I have identified from all contributions so far: 1. Bitter dock 2. Sharp leaved Aster (whorled wood aster) 3. Garlic Mustard - take it away 4. Jack in the Pulpit (we have many, many!) 5. Hayscented fern 6. Buckthorn (not sure it is a choke cherry) 7. Honeysuckle 8. Mayflower (Canada) 9. Arrow wood Viburnum False Solomon Seal Gray Dogwood Arrow wood Viburnum (same as #9 but still very low to ground) Trillium False Solomon Seal Trillium or Jack in the Pulpit Shagbark Hickory sapling Suggestions - Angelica, Avens, Toothwort, Dutchmans Breeches - doesn't really look like any of those Possibilities - Gold thread (? three leaves and this is four) or Partridge Berry or Wintergreen or Pyrola - plant is very, very low to the ground Sensitive Fern The picture is of a fern unfolding. Hard to see. I'll wait to see what it becomes. Trillium or oak seedlings Another type of Fern Another Fern - I'll use the Fern website that was provided. Bulbet Fern Columbine or Meadow Rue ?? Jack in the Pulpit Skunk cabbage?? Queen Anne's lace ?? Squash or pumpkin or watermelon(makes sense since the deer ate all the watermelon plants I had outside the fence) Hnoeysuckle or Fetterbush? Violets

I don't know about Trilliums, but jacks CAN skip a year, though it is usual. The corms would still be firm though. You received these in May? I wonder if rather than sending you dormant plants ready to sprout in 2016 that the vendor took 2016 plants, removed the foliage and shipped. If that is the case they will not sprout until 2017 anyway. I love our native jack and have it here and there in my suburban garden, where it slowly spreads and sometimes appears in surprising places as seed gets spread around. Conditions here are "average". It certainly seems adaptable and can take some drying in midsummer where it generally dies down anyway. I have a couple Trilliums but they have not done as well for me.......persisted and bloomed for many years but not really increased in size much.
