Another One of the Northwest’s Delights – Stargazing & the Northern Lights

Published by KC Dermody On May 4, 2017

Did you know that the Northern Lights occasionally make an appearance here in the Northwest? While many people think they can only be seen in far northern locations like Alaska, Iceland, Sweden and Finland, the night skies in Washington State, and sometimes even Oregon, have been known to put on the spectacular, colorful display.

That’s why we chose Jeff Marsh’s amazing photo posted on Instagram as our photo of the week. It’s a great reminder, if you want to see some of the best nature has to offer, you need to get out there and explore!
