Scene on the Sound: Orcas

Many thanks to Shoreline resident Marion Woodfield for these shots of a pod of orcas hunting off the shore of Richmond Beach just after noon on Monday.

Not sure, but we suspect they may be following the sea lions that were in the same spot a few days ago.

I continue to be shocked at the variety of marine life in our waters. I've lived my entire life around Puget Sound and had no idea until very recently that our waters held six foot sharks, giant octopi, sea lions, seals, orcas - I think we have whales, too.

Where were they hiding all those decades?

Wonder what else is down there....
