Observed Vega in August 2022 from Bothell, Washington
- The dusk obscured the dimmer the stars in Lyra. I thought I heard a muffled shout of my name from Mary, who was dancing in the garage. I heard it again again, and ran to the door, but she was dancing with no appearance of calling me. Vega is estimated to be 25.04 ± 0.07 light years away.

Shilshole Bay is the part of Puget Sound east of a line drawn northeasterly from Seattle’s West Point in the southwest to its Golden Gardens Park in the northeast. On its shores lie Discovery Park, the Lawton Wood section of the Magnolia neighborhood, the neighborhood of Ballard, and Golden Gardens Park. It is home to the Shilshole Bay Marina on Ballard’s Seaview Avenue N.W. and communicates with the Lake Washington Ship Canal via the Ballard Locks.
