Folks living in the Pacific Northwest got a rare chance to see the annular eclipse of the sun Saturday morning. While some may have slept in and missed it, others set their alarms and got their cameras ready to capture the celestial event!
Looking at the FOX Weather map at the top of this article, you can see the path of the eclipse.

Those living in Washington state saw a partial eclipse - beginning at 9:13 a.m. Regardless, the photos are amazing.
"I took these photos from Shilshole Bay Marina. I loved that the clouds came in," said photographer Lisa Mize.
