![]() There are many celebrations and events all across Seattle Metro Area. In Seattle, the eclipse will be about 92% complete. It will still be amazing to watch. The eclipse should reach its peak at about 10:20 in the morning. If you’re looking for more natural and spontaneous experience, and if the weather allows it, you can try to find a viewing point on your own: a southeast view will be preferable. The eastern edge of Lake Washington is highly recommended. Make sure you’re watching the eclipse using certified eclipse glasses or any other method for safe viewing. 1- Northgate Library Astronomy education and related activities will be organized before viewing the eclipse. 2- Greenwood Park The Phinney Neighborhood Association is hosting a viewing party at 9 am in Greenwood Park. 3- Redmond Library King County Library System’s Redmond is throwing a party at 9:45 in the morning. It will be located right between Redmond Library and City Hall. 4- Bryant Neighborhood Playground The Seattle Public Library is putting on this shindig at Bryant Neighborhood Playground, which will combine astronomy education with a group eclipse viewing. 5- Pacific Science Center Opening time is early, at 8:30 am which means that attendees will have enough time to arrive before the eclipse starts. If the weather is not clear, the event will be live stream ed from another place with better atmospheric conditions. 6- Seattle Central Library This event focuses solely on showing NASA’s live stream of eclipse images. It starts at 10 am. 7- High Point Public Library The event is very family-friendly and starts early at 8:30 am. It will include a “Make your own eclipse viewer” workshop. 8- South Park Community Center The viewing party will start at 8:30 am and you will learn how to create a simple viewer in order to watch the eclipse in the best conditions possible. If the weather is not good enough, the party will be called off like a lot of similar events. 9- Des Moines Library Depending on the weather, the library will host a viewing event in the green patch on the east side of the Des Moines Library. The event starts at 9:45 am. 10- Pierce College Science Dome ”The South Sound’s only planetarium!” will host its own party—you will be able to watch the eclipse outside but in any case, the total eclipse will be live-streamed inside the dome, regardless of weather conditions. There will also be a preliminary presentation in the Dome before the eclipse.
