Out tour guides took us to visit a friends sister in Port Townsend WA. As we pulled up in the drive way Joe said "did you guys see that?" we all said what? He said "A whale" No.., no.... unhugh..., are you sure? He was sure. We went in to visit and asked if it was common to see whales in the sound. No she said that is so rare you probably saw a seal or a dolphin. But Joe was sure of what he saw and you know......... about a half hour later we saw it, all of us, an Orca. It was incredible. No pictures but it was spectacular.
Ok now a little information. The question is an Orca a whale or dolphin? Scientifically it is a dolphin. But all dolphins are a sub-category of whales. So all dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphin. I heard it explained like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Anyway...
Whether or not it was a whale or dolphin our friend confirmed it is rare to see an Orca in the Sound.
