Watching out my office window in Redmond. 92% is good enough for me.
Driving home from Spokane yesterday it took over 2 hours to get over Snoqualmie pass because of traffic. Normal time is 5.5 hours and it took us 8 hours door to door. Worse than winter when the pass is snowy. |

Attached File At its peak. Camera doesn't do it justice. I also thought it was going to be a lot darker. ETA: weird how you cant see jack w/o special glasses. Ancient man prolly didnt know what the fuck was going on Attached File |

We were south east of Long Creek, OR, on a mountain in Umatilla Forest. Just about at the centerline of the path of totality. What an amazing sight. Got pretty dark there.

| We had 99% eclipse from the front yard. It was pretty cool, and it seemed like all the neighbors were home and out and about to see it also. About half the street lights turned on and our night lights on our house did also. Since we didn't get full totality it didn't get completely dark. |

There were 2 different eclipses today. The partial "good enough" eclipse and the Total Zone eclipse. I've seen a partial before but traveled a long ways this time to see it in totality.
Night and day difference. Partial eclipses are sort of "Meh cool" but that total eclipse.....man that was amazing. It was really really cool to see totality and well worth the time and money I spent to make it happen. So impressive I'm already thinking of catching the next one that's coming. |
Took 507 to Tenino, then on to Oly, smooth sailing!
