     We have acted as counsel for Microvision, Inc. (the "Company"), in
connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933 covering an
aggregate of 2,273,926 shares of Common Stock, no par valeu, of the Company
(the "Shares") issuable thereby upon the exercise of outstanding common stock
purchase warrants (the "Warrants").  We have reviewed the corporate action of
the Company in connection with this matter and have examined such documents,
corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the
purpose of this opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares are duly
authorized and, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of htis opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.



                                        Very truly yours,


                                        STOEL RIVES LLP
