Seen the ‘supermoon’? Go take a look! And tidewalk tomorrow

(Thanks to Brian Coy for the photo! Added 10:49 pm)
9:06 PM: The sky’s clear enough to see the “supermoon” on the rise in the east – go take a look! It’ll have an orange cast until it gets a bit higher in the sky.

(Thanks to Danny Vinci for this photo shared via the WSB Facebook page)
9:21 PM: It’s losing the orange cast as it continues to rise – still a beautiful bright full moon, though. And as previously noted, the tides are getting interesting too. Even today, it was a notable minus tide – Doug B shared this photo via Flickr:

Tomorrow’s low tide will be even lower (minus three feet just after 11:30 am) – and Seattle Aquarium volunteer beach naturalists will make their debut south of Alki Point and at Lincoln Park, too – locations and schedule here.

Can’t find the moon! What is wrong with me??

Thanks to your reminder and encouragement, I just got back from a moon viewing atop Gatewood Hill. The sky to the east is clear and the moon is enormous–larger than usual. It sits rather low on the horizon to the south, but has risen enough to be visible from California Ave. near Morgan Junction now. ~z

Take advantage of this low tide and spend the morning with a Seattle Volunteer Naturalist at Me Kwa Mooks beach. The walk begins at 10:15

Do you have a link for this walk? I have the aquarium naturalist walks in the calendar now but haven’t found this one aside from the comment mentions. Thanks! – TR
