9:17 AM: Thanks for the tips! Orcas are in the area again today – headed southbound off Fauntleroy a short time ago per Kersti Muul and now in view off The Arroyos per a texter – murky so not ideal viewing, but since they’re southbound, they’ll eventually have to head back this way.
11:24 AM: Kersti reports in comments that some of the southbound whales are headed back northbound.
The larger group that was trailing has now flipped northbound from three tree….get ready West Seattle!
They just rounded three tree point close, northbound. and the golden Crow is eating invasive grubs along fontleroy and the north parking lot of Lincoln Park if you want to see it

Close to the buoy, entrance to Friday Harbor.

@Kersti – Actually it was super helpful to read that you could see them from Lowman. Thank you for sharing that. I never would have seen them without your post.
Thanks to Whale Trail for the binoculars and education!! 🐳
You’re welcome, Jennifer – it was a great day on The Whale Trail! J pod was stretched out and traveling slowly. We saw foraging, and resting, and a burst of breaches at the north end of Blake Island. The rain even stopped for awhile. See you all tomorrow, or whenever they come back –
Sorry, comment time is over.
