West Seattle Whale Watch: Gray-whale sightings reported

Only one report so far but you know how we are about sharing whale reports, in case you want to keep an eye out: “Cloudbreak” shared e-mail from a friend who e-mailed an hour ago, “OK, a few minutes ago a gray whale cruised by Alki, turned East at the lighthouse.” (Maybe it was this one.) ADDED 11:57 AM: Now a second report, closer to downtown – from Zack:

I’m down at Argosy Cruises and we had a gray whale pass us and head into the east waterway…last view I got was about 10 ago and it was surfacing inbetween the cargo ships. Looks like it’s still heading south.

    Wow what a perfect excuse for me to stop doing work and instead stare idly out the office window at Elliot Bay on this beautiful flay gray Seattle day.

    Watched a small gray whale following close to shore by Salty’s, past Don Armeni boat ramp, and around the point. Last seen heading West along the shore towards Alki @1:15pm.

Sorry, comment time is over.
