SUNSET WHALE-WATCHING: Orcas off West Seattle again


(Added: Photo by David Hutchinson)

7:15 PM: Thanks to Jason, who’s been updating us on southbound orcas that might make it to West Seattle before dusk – newest update, they’re passing Golden Gardens Park (west of Ballard). Let us know if you see them!

7:33 PM: Another update – they’re reported to be crossing the mouth of Elliott Bay.

7:50 PM: In view from Alki (per another texter).

9:51 AM: Photo added – thanks to David Hutchinson for the view of an orca passing the north end of Constellation Park around 8 pm.

    it was exhilerating! Transient orcas passed by dozens of sealions and seals that had no fear! we thought we were in for a show.

    I’m a Pisces but I’d rather be a killer whale. Kimbo!
