It's predicted to be a nightmare on the roads. Suppose if you arrive a couple days early and don't try to get home on the 21st, it might be more manageable. Psst, don't tell anyone, but it's going to be 98% on top of Gordon Ridge (my backyard). Word on the science street is you can't tell the difference with the naked eye. Well, eclipse glassed eye. |

If you are in the totality you get to take your glasses off, so being at 99% is about as good as if you were in Seattle. |

Seattle is 91.9%
Actually, we're closer to 99.3% (up on Gordon Ridge). |

100% = no glasses and you get to see the corona, this is the big deal about an eclipse.
99.9% and under = glasses stay on and you get to see the moon's silhouette on the sun through glasses that make it impossible to see anything else. |
