WEST SEATTLE WHALE-WATCHING: Humpbacks in Elliott Bay

Thanks to Kersti Muul for the tip – humpback whales have been off West Seattle much of the afternoon, and are in Elliott Bay at last report. One Orca Network commenter reports seeing them from the Water Taxi. Not sure how to ID a humpback? Here’s some help from The Whale Trail.

    If you think of the whale population, migratory or resident as a vital part of the Puget Sound and Salish Sea come to the Greenlife Festival during the West Seattle Summer Fest to learn much more about what we can do to save these intelligent creatures.

    Orcas are smart animals, maybe a change in diet from salmon to Sea Lions is in the future will happen.Doing what we can to preserve the environment is important not only for Orcas but for all of us!
