The WhaleTrail project

The recent news of a baby orca in J pod makes for an excellent opportunity to mention that there is also a baby non-profit organization focused on identifying locations to view orca’s from the shores of Puget Sound. It’s called the WhaleTrail and the brainchild of friend Donna Sandstrom. [Full disclosure: I’m a member of the WhaleTrail Board of Directors and helping to get things started] This is such a cool idea – there are so many places you can see whales all within a short distance of the Seattle metropolitan area. Look for more information about this exciting new project in the coming months - and in the meantime keep an eye out for that baby orca! 12/9/09: Here is a community blog article featuring Donna.
