SPOKANE, Wash. — An apparent meteor streaked through the sky over the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday, drawing reports of bright lights and sonic booms in parts of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Although a witness reported seeing the object strike the Earth in a remote part of Adams County, in southeast Washington, it had not been found.
"I'm convinced it was a meteor," said Geoff Chester, spokesman for the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. "It was a classic description of a fireball."
Chester speculated the meteor was the size of a big suitcase and had been orbiting the sun for millions of years before entering Earth's orbit.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a private pilot reported seeing the meteor hit the Earth in a burst of light near State Route 26 and the Lind-Hatton Road about 5:45 a.m.
The Adams County sheriff's office had no immediate reports of damage, injury or a meteor landing in the area, about 175 miles east-southeast of Seattle and 90 miles southwest of Spokane.

My error. Actually after lookin at the map it would have come by you before it hit in Adams County. It must have been traveling from SE to NW. Is your time ahead of us though?
Depending on where you are...Salmon is Mountain time zone.
Good Luck!

I saw it...but didn’t see it. I noticed everything lit up and looked out to see if a full moon came out from behind a cloud or something. It was bright enough to make me look. Didn’t see the meteor though.... :(
