Yesterday orcas exited Puget Sound via Admiralty & gray whales fed in & around the Snohomish River Delta.
📷 Pictured here is Hibulb Lookout, Everett which sits above the delta & affords sweeping views of Possession Sound - a lovely place to observe grays & many other species.

We love our cetacean friends of Puget Sound & beyond. It’s likely reports of grays, & possibly orcas will surface today.
📷 Grays are known for their 🩶-shaped exhalations. Here’s repost of CRC53 "Little Patch", a most beloved whale who has our 🩷s. By Jason Cook 1/18/26.

Orcas & grays inhabited the Sound yesterday. Earlier today orcas were reported near Vashon. Did others stay?
🪅 Today is Super Bowl champs Seahawks parade day which of course means a lot of lovely celebrating downtown & extra traffic.

Yesterday’s pod were the T124A2s. This family has been in many times since, but in searching for archive images I found these from this day 5 years ago:

Orcas were hanging around Commencement Bay, Tacoma earlier this morning. They’ve since moved to the north towards East Passage.
And, gray whales should still be around Whidbey Basin.

After feeding for 6 weeks in Puget Sound, gray whale CRC-53 "Little Patch" surprised us when he showed up near Victoria, BC on Jan. 28! What's next for LP? Will he return to Puget Sound, head north to Vancouver as he did last year, or keep exploring?
