Several onlookers lined the sidewalk along Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook watching a nearby Orca pod. The whales have been spotted all over the area for the last couple of days according to West Seattle Blog reports. The Orca are most likely chasing the large fall chum salmon run which contains nearly 90% of the entire annual chum numbers that migrate down to central & south Puget Sound.
It was also reported that The Whale Trail organization has spotted other aquatic species in the area as well.
Well, maybe not ALL of them…

Whales are gone! but what about the three ro ro’s off manchester? Is the port having another slow down???
We’ve noticed the ships too… not sure if the port is having another slow down or (hopefully) if it’s just getting to be the busy season?
