A sure sign that Spring is on the way is when the Brants migrate to the Puget Sound.

Whale Sighting
December 2, 2008 by 1 Comment
I just received this email:
"I just saw whales, not sure how many, maybe 5 heading south, around 9:50 – 10 am. When I saw them they were just south of Harbor West Condos, way out, and heading to the south end of blake island, but then some showed up closer to La Rustica!!!! Too far to tell if they were orca. Any other reportings?"
December 3, 2008 - Update: Check out West Seattle Blog for great photos and details about the Orca's that have been seen in our area.

Choppy weather the next two days
November 20, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Today, the Puget Sound marine forecast has a small craft advisory in effect through this evening with winds from the east up to 30 kt this afternoon and 3 to 5 foot waves. High tide is a 11.8 at 11:28 am. With winds from the east, it should be pretty interesting to watch–especially if you're by Vashon or the other islands. The City of Seattle forecast confirms winds up to 20 mph from the east changing to the southwest later this afternoon.
Friday also promises to be windy and cold with lows in the mid 30s to lower 40s and south winds up to 25 mph…watch out Jeff Renner! LOL

Barking Dog Report: Howling Winds through Wednesday morning with High Tides
November 11, 2008 by Leave a Comment
With the next high tide happening right now (2:22 pm @ 11.8) I think we’re going to 
escape a "barking dog report" for today. However I am a little concerned about the following high tides: tomorrow morning at 4:22 am @ 11.2 and again at 2:54 pm @ 11.9 feet. Combine the high tides of 11.2 at 4am and howling 30mph winds gusting up to 40mph…I think it’s worthy to bark about.
