6:15 PM: Thanks to Kersti Muul for the tip: Transient orcas are reported in Elliott Bay, close to the Alki shore, headed westbound (and out of the bay). Let us know if you see them!
7:26 PM: Added photos sent by David Hutchinson from the whales’ pass by Constellation Park.
We saw then go by at Alki – we were on the upper deck at Dukes for dinner and saw the whales moving West, pretty close to shore.
Welcome transients!
Just heard this interview about our southern resident orcas, good listen, sharing for others who may be interested:

T18 family! I’d know Galiano’s giant fin anywhere. I’ve never seen them south of the San Juans before!
San juans and BC and elsewhere.
The Subgroup of Lpod (L54s) were just seen as well as Jpod
Sorry, comment time is over.
