Wondering where in WS you could see an auklet. Duwamish Head?

Duwamish Head (fly-by), Coleman Pool, Don Armeni Boat Launch, Jack Block Park, Ferry Dock. I have had more luck from a boat or ferry. I find them singly around here and not very often. They seem to frequent waters where currents mix. They prefer fish (like Sand Lance) and can easily dive over 100 feet. The above places may have greater water depth in common.
