Ipheion uniflorum is a good ID, which is not the same thing as Triteleia.
Triteleia hyacinthina is native to and common in Oregon and across the west coast. However, this is a different plant as it lacks the ring of triangular stamen filaments forming a short crown around the top of a bowl-shaped tube in the center of the flower. This does look a lot like the widespread Allium neapolitanum.
The high elevation and the upright (not curved-back) forked filament tip appendages indicate this is ssp. anilina. The blue anthers are consistent, too (but not definitive). The Jepson key is here: http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_I...

Current scholarship includes the plants that were formerly Triteleia howellii as a color morph within Triteleia grandiflora.

Yes this is definitely Triteleia bridgesii. It can be distinguished from Triteleia laxa because the stamen filaments all connect to the petals at the same height.
