Fiery glow, moving in distance over Olympic Mountains

We were walking in Discovery Park along the top of the hill overlooking the Sound. There appeared to be a large fiery glow above or on the Olympic Mountains.

At first, we thought it was a forest fire as it was flickering. After watching it for 3 - 4 minutes, my husband noticed it was moving. At first, I didn't believe it because this didn't seem to make any sense. As we continued to watch it, it became apparent that it was moving very slowly in a southward direction. It also rose a bit in height.

When compared to the half moon that night, it was just as bright and quite large for being so far away.
