SEATTLE, WA – The first full moon of June is called the "strawberry moon". If Puget Sound's sky is clear Wednesday night, we'll see a full moon that could have a strawberry hue.
The moon will have a pink-red color because it will rise relatively early – 21:53. on the west coast – and could catch some of the color of the setting sun. But according to "The Old Farmer's Almanac", the strawberry moon was named by the Algonquins because it was a reminder to harvest, of course, summer berries.
"The full moon of June calls the full moon of strawberry This full moon received its name from the Algonquin tribes who knew it as a signal to gather the ripening fruit of wild strawberries. and the full pink moon in Europe, "according to the almanac.
The chance to see the moon is about 50-50. The National Weather Service plans a partially cloudy Wednesday night in Puget Sound.
