Thanks to everyone who texted and emailed photos of the spectacular double rainbow just before sunset! Above, Stewart L. saw it while looking toward downtown; Grant saw it from The Junction:

An unidentified texter saw it from Westwood Village:

Kevin Freitas got the extreme closeup:

ADDED 8:14 PM: Chris Twombley saw it in Morgan Junction:

The brightness was hard to capture on full-arch views, but Lacey‘s photo shows it:

Here’s the Terminal 5/Harbor Ave. view from Tracey Kipp of West Seattle Realty (WSB sponsor):

      That is not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but the emerald city!  Great photo!

      When I suddenly saw the rainbows I got goosebumps and lost my breath for a moment. Stunning, fantastic, brilliant, awesome, wonderful, beautiful… I don’t recall ever seeing a rainbow so vivid. I feel fortunate to have seen it…something very special.

    Taken from Lincoln Park. Hope you can see the little rainbow just below the main rainbow. According to National Geographic, “A supernumerary rainbow is a thin, pastel-colored arc usually appearing below the inner arch of a rainbow.”
