West Seattle Whale Watch: Orcas this morning

(Photo added 2:55 pm, thanks to Trileigh Tucker for sharing!)
Thanks to Chris for sharing news of an orca sighting in the Brace Point area south of Fauntleroy less than an hour ago. They are probably out of the area by now – Chris said they were northbound, and checking the Orca Network Facebook page, they seem to be continuing to head in that direction. So this is just a heads-up, keep an eye on the water today, and let us know if you see any!

2:55 PM: Thanks to the commenters who continue to share info. They’re out there somewhere!

6:52 PM: Added Trileigh’s photo a bit earlier – and here’s a gallery of close-up shots featured on the KING website.

    Six+ fins between Manchester and West Seattle—using large scope to see………..north of Blake Island now. Feeding? Beautiful.

    Yes, the Orca’s were out this morning over near Blake Island. Got a couple of shots of the fins LOL but they were pretty far away.

    Arrrrrrggggghhh! One of the things that really sucks about not working IN West Seattle anymore, I miss seeing the Orcas when they return. :(

    I was on the 8:25 ferry on Friday and we saw a pod of orcas. Unfortunately they were to far away to get a picture of.

Sorry, comment time is over.
