UPDATE: Orcas in Elliott Bay (photos, video added)

2:27 PM: It’s perfect whale-watching weather if you’re looking out over Elliott Bay – the black fins are easy to spot in the silvery water. And you just might see some – Kersti Muul reports that orcas have been in the middle of the bay this past hour. Let us know if you see them!

5:25 PM: Still in the bay, commenter Bill reports – right off Anchor Park.

6:52 PM: Added above, a photo sent by Manuel Valdes, who says the calf is “T124D4 as ID’d by Brittany Noelle from Kersti’s WhatsApp group.”

7:24 PM: Two more photos, sent by Robin Sinner:

Those sightings were from Jack Block Park.

ADDED: Video from Kelly Howard:

They just passed Duwamish Head, heading towards Alki and out of the bay. They are moving fast, 5 maybe 6, At this rate they will be gone before this post goes live, but, you never know.

I was there but didn’t get pics. Any idea where I might find photos from today? I saw several photographers with scopes!

Off Lincoln Park 432
And another group still north

They are back, right off the Anchor Park, very close. 5:21pm

Bill @ Duwamish Head February 22, 2025 (5:30 pm)

Gone already, heading towards Alki again. Never saw them circle back, but they missed a big snack, 2 sea lions hanging out near the anchor park pier after the first time I posted.

Sorry, comment time is over.
