ORCAS OFF WEST SEATTLE: Northbound

11:02 AM: Spectacular day to be on in view of Puget Sound, even without the added possibility of whale-watching, but we have that too: Kersti Muul just texted us to say orcas are northbound in the Fauntleroy ferry lanes. She says they’re the T23C group of transient orcas (aka Bigg’s Killer Whales), just the other day making their first appearance in the area. Let us know if you see them!

12:08 PM: Kersti says they’re now “passing Alki Point, east of mid-channel, continuing northbound.”

    Yes saw them. And the vessel Swiftsure out of Edmonds Yacht Club following too closely and directly behind them.
