West Seattle whale watching: Spouting off Alki Beach

spouting

Thanks to Dja for tweeting that photo from Alki with an unmistakable spout in view – if you’re in the area, keep watch for possible sunset sightings of whale(s). Transient orcas have been in central Puget Sound today, according to Orca Network spotters, so the spout might be from one of them. (Some were in Elliott Bay earlier today – see photos here.)

    I was at Lowman and saw this whale while enjoying the sunset with a friend ( her first whale sighting!). It was most likely a gray whale. We heard him before we saw him. It was surprisingly close to shore and moved along the shore along Lincoln Park. We didn’t get to see a fluke, but it had a very small dorsal fin. So cool!

Sorry, comment time is over.
