If you’ve never seen a whale in the wild and want to, get down to the waterfront as soon as you can. Last night on Elliott Bay I watched a huge whale cruise around, breech, blow, etc. right up near Pier 54 between Ivar’s and the ferry. The sight was thrilling (and slightly scary). The laymen on our boat decided it was a gray whale. Someone took pictures and I’ll post those when I get them.
