Washington’s Glowing Ocean Waves

from Seattle News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

This summer, Washington’s waters are turning into nature’s rave—tiny glowing plankton called dinoflagellates light up the ocean at night when disturbed by waves or boats. Best seen from June to September under dark skies, especially after sunset, this dazzling blue glow transforms bays into living light shows. Guided kayak tours in spots like the San Juan Islands and Hood Canal offer the best views, and some say even the sand glows like stars.
