Unfortunately, for all of us in the Pacific Northwest, this is a sight we never will see... :( We get lucky and occationally get to see the Perseids (as this summer) my six year old was thrilled to finally get to see something besides the clouds during our meteor outing at 3 am. ;) Enjoy! I am jealous!
