We are planning to do a camping trip next week to see the Perseid meteor shower. Any suggestions
which campground near Seattle (about 1 hour driving) would have a clear view of the sky?

Thanks!

Answer
If you really want to go see the stars why not drive out to the Table Mountain star party next weekend outside Ellensburg? Its more like a hour and 45 minutes but it's the coolest start gazing get together in the state. See the link below...
