3:20 PM: Thanks to Monica Zaborac for the tip and photo – two humpback whales are in the area again! She saw them from a ferry near Southworth, just west of Vashon Island; at least one Orca Network commenter says they’re visible from here (take your binoculars).
ADDED EARLY SUNDAY: Meg McDonald of Wild Northwest Beauty Photography caught one of the humpbacks breaching in Colvos Passage along the west side of Vashon Island; her image is added above.
I hope this does not end like the last one. It’s so unusual for humpbacks to come into Puget Sound.
Not any more! Aside from the Fauntleroy stranding in August, we’ve also had (and Orca Network et al have had other sightings in other parts of the Sound):
