SIGHTING: Gray whale in Elliott Bay again (photos added)

11:29 AM: If you’ve got eyes on Elliott Bay, you might see a gray whale again today, five days after one was sighted (last Wednesday). Kersti Muul tells us the gray whale is headed toward Elliott Bay Marina on the north side of the bay. Let us know if you see it!

9:59 PM: Thanks for sending photos! The one above is from James Tilley; these are from Steven Rice:

It was still around Alki at 5:15. I saw it in the water off the 2200 block of Alki Ave. Surprised to learn it’s been here all day!

Back in March 24, 2020 we saw a grey whale near the Magnolia Marina while walking along the bluff. We have lived in Magnolia for 30 years and never seen a grey whale in Elliot Bay until then. Hearing that another grey whale has been sighted is so exciting.
