Last weekend we had an incredible encounter in western Haro Strait when the T19s took down a Steller sea lion.
This is just a clip, but you should definitely check out the full highlight video in 4K on our YouTube channel.

Endangered Southern Residents remain inland Puget Sound. They went south earlier then flipped at the north end of Vashon & are traveling north up the Sound.

We have an EB lane closure on I-90 across the Vantage Bridge (MP 136-137). A transition plate, part of the deck replacement project, has come loose. The lane will remain closed until crews can evaluate Friday and make a repair.

We saw our first whales of the Puget Sound research trip this afternoon from shore in Henderson Bay: members of the T38s, T99s, and T137s!
We've tracked reports of whales in these southern inlets of Puget Sound for years but have not had many opportunities to see them here firsthand.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
