Nature and Wildlife

I'm blessed to live in the Methow Valley of North Central Washington, one of the darkest areas in the state. As we head into a period of solar maximum, here are tips for seeing and photographing the elusive northern lights.

The most vibrant, colorful, long-lasting northern lights show I've ever seen happened on February 26-27, 2023 here over the skies of the Methow Valley. It was quite a sight to behold!
