WHALES: Orcas off West Seattle again

9:23 AM: For a third day, transient orcas are off Seattle shores – just got word from Kersti Muul that the same groups are southbound, already past Discovery Park on the north side of Elliott Bay. Let us know if you see them!

9:27 AM: Kersti adds that they’re visible from Luna/Anchor Park, and the water’s calm, so the viewing conditions are good.

    Walking the dog just after 9 this morning along western end of Alki saw several sea lions making their way towards the beach…thought to myself, hmm I wonder if there will be Orcas visiting today. Wished I had hung around longer! 

Sorry, comment time is over.
