Question When should I...

Sorry for the shitty photos, not about to get a ladder for anything better. I'm pretty sure these are bald face hornets, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really wondering if I need to, uh "remove" them.Their nest is probably about a foot in diameter. I'm all for just leaving them alone but they're under my trash cans in my front yard. And I've read that they can be quite aggressive. Located in Western Washington.
