West Seattle whale-watching: Orcas headed this way

| Seen at sea | West Seattle news | Wildlife

11:07 AM: Thanks to Trileigh for sounding the alert that Orca Network tipsters are reporting orcas headed north in Colvos Passage on the west side of Vashon – which means they might be visible from here at some point soon. The fog is of course complicating things, and even without fog, the whales might stay along the western shore of the sound, but we wanted to make sure you knew.

2:11 PM: The whales have gone into Rich Passage, which leads to Bremerton, as of the newest comments on the same Orca Network post we’ve linked above.

Viewing this on my phone, so the time stamp for the article isn’t visible. What time was this posted?

Thanks. If they’re heading west from Bremerton I think they’re going to run out of water fairly quickly! Unless they go up Dyes Inlet before getting back out to the open sound…

Sorry, comment time is over.
