Photographer Janine Harles was watching a seal on the beach Friday afternoon when she looked up and saw transient orcas just off of the Edmonds Fishing Pier.

That is good news. The transient Orcas eat seals and sea lions that have over populated waters from Canada to into the Columbia River and its tributaries. Maybe they can teach the southern resident Orcas how to hunt and eat pedipods.
Wow. Way to ruin a beautiful photo.
Not sure how this ruins the photo at all. Some animals eat another animals, it’s just the way the world goes.
Nice shots Janine!
Janine Harles,
Beautiful photos, talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Thank you for sharing.
Agreed Rosemary!!
Our wonderful nature and beaches. Right in our front yard.
Helen,
Are you the daughter of Anna?
If so, so nice to see your name.
I was there too and was very envious of the crew in that small boat! Ferry had to wait until the whales passed – wonderful sight!
That was me and my wife! We had been out cruising for about an hour and a half and on our way back to the marina we were definitely in the right place at the right time. Got some great amateur video of the orcas frolicking. We’re sure there were four, and possibly five. We’ve seen plenty of porpoises and sea lions out there, but this was our first time seeing orcas and it was incredible.
Hoping to somehow get in contact with Janine Harles, would love to get the original photo so we can frame it!
Absolutely incredible, I have not yet been lucky enough to see an Orca, but hope to one day soon. How frequently do Orcas visit this part of the sound?
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs!!
