What direction should I look to watch the meteor show tonight? It's one AM here, so I know it's still going on

Question

I'm in the puget sound area of Washington.

Answer 1

look to the NE.  i saw 44 this morning and am in Lockport, NY near Niagara Falls.  i watched from 230am till 5am.  most were big and bright this year!!  this is a great time for you to view them (between 2-5am) and if im not mistaken, you should be able to see them better out your way, than out East where i am.  ENJOY, hope you see alot!

Answer 2

They're not concentrated in one spot.  Like someone else said, they come from the NE, but I some some straight up, some due east, and some due north.  Just get away from lights and keep looking.  

Answer 3

in the general up direction.

Answer 4

Up.  Really. You want to look about 45 degrees from the radiant - Perseus. With Perseus fairly near the horizon all night, looking nearly straight up gives you a view of the most sky.  I mostly sat with the Moon to my back, and saw 16 Perseid and 9 non-Perseid meteors last night.

While the peak is over, expect the Perseid Meteor Shower to continue to the weekend.

Answer 5

Northeast. If you can locate the constellation Perseus, that's where the radiant (or apparent origin) of all the meteors will be.
