K pod (19 orcas) stayed in our waters until mid week, then we think they went back out to sea.  Transient orcas are all over the place, and have been seen a lot this week.  Two male orcas, T77a & T49c, even cruised around Friday Harbor last Saturday!  Pacific white-sided dolphins were spotted over by Port Townsend a few days ago.  Other wildlife being seen include seals, sea lions, porpoise, Dall’s porpoise, eagles and tons of seabirds.  Cheers and happy Easter from the PWWA
