WHALE-WATCHING: Humpback northbound off West Seattle

7:19 PM: Two tips in the past ~20 minutes report a whale northbound off west-facing West Seattle, toward Fauntleroy at last report. No report yet what species. Let us know if you see it!

7:45 PM: Humpback, says tipster Scott.

7:51 PM: Just got a call from Donna Sandstrom of The Whale Trail, who says it’s a juvenile humpback, moving quickly, should be off Alki Point soon.

    We saw her about 7:15 pm just south of the Fauntleroy dock…she was moving quickly and pretty close to shore.

    There’s been a humpback swimming through Colvos Passage off the west coast of Vashon throughout the week. Wonder if it’s the same animal….

    I saw that beauty while kayaking next to Lincoln Park. She was fast and showed us her back many times as she cruised towards Alki

    I wonder if we’re seeing more wildlife because of less boat noise. Several weeks back I saw about 200 seals feeding off Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook in West Seattle. It will be sad when the wild life leaves after everything get rolling agian.

Sorry, comment time is over.
