Occasionally when solar activity is extremely intense, the Northern Lights may be visible in the state of Washington - the further north and east in the state, the more likely. Solar energy peaks about every 11 years so that's about how often there is a chance of seeing the Northern lights in Washington - but its still rare; it has to be a more energetic peak solar year than normal for the northern lights to stray that far south.

What day is the northern lights in 2011?

There are no set dates. They can happen at any time. So for any given year you cannot say what dates it will be possible to see the Northern Lights. They are caused by unusual activity on the Sun and that activity is completely unpredictable. When astronomers do see it, they can then predict that the Northern Lights will be seen in the coming days. So it is only just a few days before they happen that it is possible to predict them.
