West Seattle whales: Humpbacks off Water Taxi dock

| West Seattle news | Wildlife

Thanks to the texter who just sent that phone video of what appear to be two humpback whales off the Water Taxi dock at Seacrest! We’ll be heading out in a bit to see if they’re still off our shore – let us know if you see/have seen them!

P.S. We checked the Orca Network page for any word of other sightings in the area and found this post with video of two humpbacks across the Sound in Port Orchard/Bremerton waters earlier today.

What time? On my mobile device and can’t see any time stamps.

About 3:30. We have just driven the shoreline from Harbor to Alki to Beach, no sign … Perhaps they headed toward downtown.

We just saw the two whales pass by Arroyo Beach, heading south (Saturday morning).

Please give Seal Sitters MMSN hotline @ 206-905-SEAL (7325) a call if you see a whale along the shores of West Seattle. This is in hopes that one of our First Responders can get an i.d. photo and observe the whales behavior.

Thanks!

WSF reported 3 humpbacks early yesterday morning off Fauntleroy and around 3pm there was a report on Orca Network’s Facebook of two north of Pier 70. The day before I saw one in the shipping lanes west of Alki Point. For whatever reason, there have been a lot around in recent days.
