West Seattle whale-watching: Orcas in our area

9:48 AM: Thanks to Kersti Muul for the tip – take your binoculars and look toward Blake Island, where a sizable group of orcas is reported to be passing, southbound!

12:06 PM: They’re still southbound, Kersti reports – and they’re transient orcas. Now off Burien’s Three Tree Point, she says.

7:57 PM: And now they’re northbound, seen passing Alki a short time ago, per comment and e-mail.

      Thanks for the updates! I so wish we could go see them, but we’re committed to the Morgan festival today. Beautiful day for whale-watching.
