West Seattle whale-watching: Orcas off Lincoln Park

Just got the call from Jeff Hogan at Killer Whale Tales: Five orcas off Lincoln Park – closer to the ferry dock – transient orcas, the kind that hunt sea lions and seals, and he says “they just made a kill” so you may see birds hovering around where they are. Let us know if you see them! 4:15 PM UPDATE: Back from an expedition. Very quick sighting in the distance, via binoculars, off north Vashon. Looked from the Lincoln Park shore like KING5’s chopper found them – video’s not on their site yet, but we’ll add a link here when it’s available. 5:14 PM: Adding the embedded video atop this item.

    i was so hoping they would wait to come back north till tomorrow when i will be out in a boat…

    they have been making regular trips past West Seattle this winter.. and i keep missing them:(

    it is enough to know they are there.. but seeing them would be really cool..
