WHALE-WATCHING: Orcas in the area (AFTERNOON UPDATES)

| West Seattle news | Whales

8:28 AM: Southbound orcas, south of Fsuntleroy, with “more coming,” reports Kersti Muul. Let us know if you see them!

9 AM: Kersti says a NB group is heading out of Colvos Passage (west side of Vashon).

2:16 PM: The now-NB orcas, mentioned by Kersti in a comment, are passing Three Tree Point south of here, but visibility on the water is poor as the rain/fog persists.

2:40 PM: Kersti is on the shore just south of Fauntleroy and says they ARE visible, even without binoculars, as they continue heading slowly north.

3:39 PM: Donna Sandstrom from The Whale Trail says they’re south of Alki Point now, putting on the best show in a long time!

Yay, I’ve missed hearing about their travels, please post pics. Also wondering about TWST, any sightings this week?

Only an Instagram post in which the WSB account was tagged. Kind of a “selfie with turkey” photo so not really something we can share here, but at least TWST is still reported as alive and well for another week.

And you don’t either. You have more options than the orcas.

The southbound group has turned around and is heading back north. Westside of channel getting ready to pass point Robinson. They are setting up for a close pass ❤️Will be well over an hour before they are back in West Seattle.

I swear the Orcas have a tracking device on me…lol. Always there when I am away from West Seattle. “She’s not home, let’s do a swim by!”… One day Orcas, One day, we will all be in the same place at the same time.
