Earlier today, we saw Southern Resident Killer Whales swimming past West Seattle – likely chasing salmon, which are in the area too, as shown int these new photos from Longfellow Creek, sent by Manuel.
He noted, “The storm’s heavy rainfall swelled Longfellow Creek and a bunch of salmon arrived today.”
Longfellow is one of West Seattle’s two major salmon-bearing creeks; the other is Fauntleroy, where we’re still awaiting word of salmon making it far enough up the creek to spawn.
