WHALES: Orcas in Elliott Bay (photos added)

3:26 PM: Transient killer whales have entered the bay, southbound, “close to the Seattle side,” reports Kersti Muul. Let us know if you see them!

ADDED MONDAY NIGHT: They eventually left the bay and continued southbound in the Sound. Thanks to Madison Kirkman for sending these photos! Above, a view from the Fauntleroy ferry dock; below, looking toward the SW 97th street end:
