7:41 AM: Just got a call from Amy, who says she’s spotted orcas heading south, off Fauntleroy. Off to take a look!
8:12 AM: No luck from just south of Fauntleroy. Let us know if you see them (for quick reports – on anything that’s “happening now” – call/text 206-293-6302 any time)
9:10 AM: Just texted – orcas heading down EAST side of Vashon (update from a moment ago, the 2nd text we received corrected the 1st).
I can see at least one big male very close to the ferry lane. Looks to be mid-channel, maybe closer to the Vashon/Blake Is side of the sound. Still heading S/SW.
What a beautiful day for whale watching! Hoping they will still be around a little later. Keep us posted! Thanks.
The whales were southern residents orcas: all of K pod and part of J-pod – 40 whales total! They circumnavigated Vashon Island, heading slowly north through Colvos Passage. We watched for them from Me-Kwa-Mooks at sunset but no luck. Maybe tomorrow…(thanks to Jeff Hogan and others for the reports!)
Hi,
I would like to try to see the Orca’s Friday Feb. 4th. (I am off work tomorrow) Where do you think the best place for me to start looking would be?
Thank you!
Sorry, comment time is over.
