Editor's note: Above video shows the Northern Lights over the Arctic Circle
SPOKANE, Wash. – The Northern Lights danced over areas of eastern Washington and North Idaho on Labor Day weekend.
Northern U.S. States fell into the viewing area for the aurora borealis. The National Weather Service said escalating geomagnetic storm conditions existed from late Saturday into Sunday, resulting in improved conditions to view the space spectacle.
The best areas to see the sight are typically scarcely populated and lack light pollution. City lights can often inhibit the view, which is why many photographers and stargazers tend to travel to quiet, dark locations.
Several KREM viewers captured photos and videos of the aurora in eastern Washington, including shots from areas outside of Reardan, Deer Park, Moses Lake and Cusick.
Viewer Kevin Roylance sent us a time lapse video of the Northern Lights over Moses Lake.
Viewers Si Xiong, Ian Loe and Ashlee Winlow sent us the photos below.
