10:07 PM: West Seattle’s expert skywatcher/educator Alice Enevoldsen just alerted us to the possibility of aurora viewing tonight: “We’re flirting with Kp7 which is ‘go outside and look NOW, maybe go somewhere nearby and dark” numbers.” She recommends Westcrest Park. Here are Alice’s viewing tips and aurora’forecast links.

12:44 AM: Thanks to the commenters who’ve posted images from their sightings!

    From Harstine Island Washington last night abut 11:30 am. It was a beautiful gift from God! It was on our bucket list to see an Aurora, and we had meteors shooting through it to. We will never forget it! Wow!

    Got a couple of photos of it, but was unable to see it with the naked eye!  Was at the Duwamish Head pier
