For the first time this summer, members from all three orca pods local to Puget Sound were spotted together in the Haro Strait, but K20 and the new calf, named K45, stood out.

The Salish Sea around the San Juan Islands has traditionally been a hotspot for the Southern Resident orcas, particularly in the summer months when the whales feed on Chinook salmon.

The scenic flights take passengers over the twin Tacoma Narrows Bridges, Fox Island, Chambers Bay Golf Course, McNeil, Ketron and Fox islands, Gig Harbor and other areas in the South Sound.
