UPDATE: Orcas back in Elliott Bay and elsewhere (photos added)

5:58 PM: It’s murky out there but if you have or can get the bay off Duwamish Head in view, we just got a texted tip (thank you!) that orcas are back. They’re apparently dining on prey, the tipster says, so we don’t have a direction of travel.

6:56 PM: They have headed west, per texter Bill’s comment below. Apparently they’ve been around much of the day; earlier we missed a 12:30 pm text from Kersti Muul that they were south of West Point. She says they’re off Constellation Park (it’s a little less murky now but the light is dimming as night approaches).

7:54 PM: Thanks to Kevin Freitas for the photos, added above and below!

That was my text, they have headed out towards Alki point or further by now. The hung around here, and the way they were swimming and changing directions I thought they were definetly close to a kill. But then, they are gone

This was our first documentation of a successful predation. Harbor Porpoise. Shared by whole family and older male was off to side playing away some from Mom and young male. What a thrill to see them so many days here , and so close. Impressive amount of people interested in these whales and out in very poor weather today to catch a glimpse of the 🍪🍪🍪🫍🫍🫍
