I wanted to thank you for reporting the knapweed along this stretch of I-205. Meadow knapweed is a class B noxious weed (http://www.oregon.gov/oda/shared/Documents/Publications/Weeds/MeadowKnapweedProfile.pdf) and is relatively widespread in our area.
This location you submitted is maintained by Oregon Department of Transportation. I have notified, their Vegetation Management Coordinator and made him aware of the infestation.
Thanks again for reporting this infestation.
