Chillin’ with the T99s! On May 19, 2025, our Port Townsend Half Day Whale Watching tour circumnavigated Whidbey Island and had a grand time with the T99 family of Bigg’s orcas, who were sedately cruising the shoreline near Holmes Harbor. Prior to that, we encountered two of our “Sounder” gray whales who might be on their way out of the area for the year. Right before Deception Pass, guests were able to see some Navy “Growlers” coming in for landings at NAS Whidbey.
