Orca Network reports that a small group of orcas were seen yesterday off Alki Point. Most likely these are members of L-pod and might even be the captive orca “Lolita’s” extended family, the L-12 matriline. Another possibility is that it is members from the L-32 group, Spirit and her two sons, Skana and Solstice.

Transient orcas (the type that eats marine mammals) have been seen in the area recently too, so we will need to wait to identify them for certain. But no matter which ones are there, it is a rare treat to see them, so keep an eye out if you are planning to be near the shore or on the ferries.
