Seattle is not a good place for viewing the wonders of the night sky. I always enjoyed going to Sunrise Point in Mount Rainier National Park for the best night sky viewing. The Perseid meteor shower peaks on Aug 12 and Aug 13 this year and is expected to be spectacular this year with up to 100 meteors per hour. I suggest you start planning an overnight trip to the park for a real treat. I have never been disappointed by the Perseids when viewed from Sunrise Point. However you should plan on arriving early to get a parking spot as well as to not disturb others' viewing pleasure with bright car lights.
