Ping! There's an orca nearby!

Seattle Now

About this episode

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
