1:26 PM: The last few times orcas have passed West Seattle, the weather’s been drippy. Not today. Kersti Muul says they’re southbound near the north edge of Elliott Bay at last report, so if you have time, get out those binoculars and head be ready to head out if they don’t turn around.

2:57 PM: See comments for updates!
