12:29 PM: Just in from Kersti Muul, a report of “orcas close to shore northbound, heading toward Me-Kwa-Mooks” (Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook, 4500 block Beach Drive). Let us know if you see them!
1:15 PM: Now approaching Constellation Park, per Kersti.
5:14 PM: Thanks to David Hutchinson for the photo above, taken today as the orcas left Elliott Bay.
6:57 PM: And thanks to Robin Sinner for sending this photo, also taken today:
I’m unclear on how anyone could possibly see anything on the water with the amount of fog we have.
Can someone please post the WhatsApp link to get text updates for orca sightings?
Hi Nicole! This link worked for Steve on Thursday. https://chat.whatsapp.com/E303XKYgS5kH963fV2Ftyv If it’s full hopefully Kersti will add the next version.
Here’s the most recent link as we approach 7000 people https://chat.whatsapp.com/D7fFhQVWG9aBuEsZGqrwIm
Whale Alert is a great app that’s run in collaboration with NOAA and is available for iPhone and Android!
There was a very loud speeding RED jet ski off of Alki yesterday and around the water where these whales are. It was a great concern to me how this would disturb or harm the whales. Is there someone that can be reported to that could get there quickly to stop the jet ski when whales are present? Anybody know?
Call the Be Whale Wise hotline: 1-800-853-1964. Take photos or videos to record what you’re seeing. Enforcement may not be able to respond in real time, but every report will be investigated. You can report it after the fact too – call today if you haven’t already.
Sorry, comment time is over.
