7:22 PM: Thanks for the tips! The Northern Lights have shown up tonight – above, a photo from Kevin Freitas, looking north from The Triangle. The possibilities change almost from minute to minute – here’s one page that West Seattle skywatcher Alice Enevoldsen has often recommended for gauging the situation. She has advice on local aurora-watching (including a cloud-cover map – that’s a factor tonight) here.
9:34 PM: Some have had luck this past hour – see photos in comments below!
Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in shortly after that photos was taken (~5:20pm) but keep your eyes on the skies tonight and tomorrow night. Any gaps could reveal aurora. A few more photos I was able to snag: https://mastodon.social/@KevinFreitas/115534449592084447
From Alki! Was peeking out from between the clouds. Taken at about 6.
Got an accidental aurora pic as I walked up California hill from water taxi
But seriously aren’t you scared of walking up that curve in the dark? Omg I’d be terrified.
Having good luck since around 8:45 when the clouds break looking north and also east. Reds visible to naked eye and more vibrant in pics. From backyard in south delridge.
Just for fun on the way home we swung by Lowman Beach to see if we could see anything and was surprised no one else was out! It was naked eye visible! Above is from 5:36pm, looking north, and below is from 5:44pm looking straight up, iPhone with night mode and no color adjustments.
Sorry, comment time is over.
