West Seattle whale-watching: Northbound orcas!

| Seen at sea | West Seattle news | Wildlife

10:42 AM: Thanks to Kersti Muul for the update – orcas are in the area again, headed northbound past the Fauntleroy ferry dock. (On their way to “Welcome the Orcas,” under way at Alki Bathhouse until 2 pm, apparently!) Let us know if you see them.

11:48 AM: Thanks for the updates in comments! Photo added above, from Kersti.

1:30 PM: Thanks to Monica Zaborac for the photos above and below this line, taken while looking toward Vashon.

No recent updates, and those viewing during “Welcome the Orcas“ were looking north from the Alki promenade, so we believe they’re out of view for now – please let us know if that changes!

My husband and I watched them from ~10:45 to 11:15 at Lowman Beach, a growing group of people were also watching with us. We saw the orcas head northbound past Vashon and Blake. They were off the south end of Bainbridge when we left about 10 minutes ago.
