Ping! There's an orca nearby!

It’s not your average Monday when an orca swims right up next to you. That’s what happened at the Ballard Locks last week. If you want to keep up on orca activity, there’s a whatsapp group that alerts you about local sightings. We'll talk with Kersti Muul, field biologist and director of the whatsapp group Salish Wildlife Watch. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed. Got questions about local news or story ideas to share? We want to hear from you!
