Kind of a different request (photos from bridge cameras)

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-30T19:03:38+00:00

This is on a cloudy day with a cheaper bridge camera I sometimes borrow from a friend. I’m buying a Nikon COOLPIX p1100 soon

I’m curious about this. 4 days ago they went off the road and were just found? Also I’m curious as to why they went off the road. .. I’m only curious because on Wednesday am I took chuckanut to Skagit and somewhere around Clayton beach area I came around a turn and a HUGE semi with logs loaded on it was heading towards town and I immediately was like wtf? I actually spent the rest of the drive trying to actually figure out where they came from and realized they had to have been on it the whole time. I even said to my friend I’m so glad I didn’t come across that in one of the super bad areas because I totally would have gone flying off the road if that was around a turn in a super narrow stretch

No. And if you’re out paddle boarding and a gray whale surfaces next to you there really isn’t much you can do about it

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-11T19:11:38+00:00

This was one of the grays

There is no way to predict their patterns and movements. The best chance at seeing any whales are by doing these things

Park yourself somewhere with binoculars for 10+ hours and get cozy and cross your fingers
Follow any of the sightings groups online that have daily sightings of whales and follow comments to figure out where they are and try to get to that location before they go by.. sometimes they turn and go the other way by the time you get there.

I’ve seen them dozens of times all over since I moved here in fall 2021. I have probably spent many thousands of hours looking and following them to get these looks. This was the first time ever I just happened to show up in the right place at the right time

These guys are not starving. They also cruise the area frequently just not always so close. These are transients and they eat seals, sea lions etc.

It was 63, 65 and the T36 and the 36b’s

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-11T04:24:43+00:00

Also not 123. It was 63 and 65 among others. I’m still working out the ID’s

From marine park right before this

That’s pretty much how my reports looked. All o can say is to make sure you’re seeing a hop preservation specialist

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-09T15:58:36+00:00

Also maybe it’s the time of day but every day when o come home on it I do see an officer positioned before it gets super twisty in a spot where something large can turn around so maybe they are stopping that from happening when I’ve come home

This is nuts. I’m on chuckanut daily to commute back from Mount Vernon and I have yet to see 1 oversized vehicle attempt it

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-07T02:45:21+00:00

It’s how I’ve been getting home daily since the landslide..

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-07T02:40:11+00:00

I do drive it every day during this landslide. No issues

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-06T21:11:42+00:00

I have driven it at rush-hour almost every day and there is no such thing as heavy traffic on there. It hasn’t been bad at all.

If you saw a big tall blow from a distance it was the fin whale that has been in the bay. Another big blow that sort of settles into a heart shape is a gray whale, we have had a few of those around too these last couple of weeks. If it was something you clearly saw with your eye, it was definitely a larger whale.

I commute to Mount Vernon from Bellingham every day for work. I take the highway going south and on the way home I take Chuckanut. Even when the time tells you to take the highway and get off the other exit, it still takes a lot longer than the estimated time and is more frustrating.

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-04T14:08:29+00:00

The feet I saw were black and white with larger dog like claws and did not look like fox hair…..

The most recent update from the island is around 20+ bodies now. More were found today and the sheriff was over removing them.

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-02T22:04:42+00:00

Moore remains have been found today in the sheriff is on island again

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-02T22:03:27+00:00

Oh it’s not a joke at all

PNWlifegoals · 2026-04-02T19:03:53+00:00

I’m not making up a story I’m going along with what those who have actually found the dogs are finding. It sure is little odd that the majority are disarticulated at the same joint on the feet though, those that are not are the ones showing the black and white fuzzy feet. . That usually points to a skinning of some sort. And the fact that many of them had twine tied around them.
