The clouds are back after four hours of sunshine graced the second half of the West Seattle Junction Car Show – but not before yielding a perfect rainbow arc over Elliott Bay. Kristina shares the photo above: Jerry from JetCityOrange shares the video below:

(added 7:47 pm) David Hutchinson shared a photo too:

And Jillian got the water-taxi perspective:

Thanks again to everyone who shared photos! You might not be surprised to hear famous forecaster Cliff Mass say that this may wind up as the wettest September on record.

Not a double rainbow. Perfect yes, and yet somewhat disappointing.

These are beautiful pics! However, with the video I would’ve expected an audio such as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI

The low arc is quite bizarre. I don’t recall ever seeing a rainbow cast so low in the sky.

Low cloud cover causes the rainbow’s low arc. Any idea how long it lasted? Really spectacular!

Sorry, comment time is over.
