I am a shepherdess, organic farmer and marine naturalist. Saving the environment, being in nature, art, plants and animals are my thing!
Large 30-40' trees floating down the yakima river. It's a conveyor belt of debris!

Atmospheric river in all of Washington state. This is the Yakima river on Tuesday. More heavy rains predicted for today and overnight. Flooding and landslides are everywhere there are rivers and streams.

Endangered Southern Residents remain inland Puget Sound. They went south earlier then flipped at the north end of Vashon & are traveling north up the Sound.

We have an EB lane closure on I-90 across the Vantage Bridge (MP 136-137). A transition plate, part of the deck replacement project, has come loose. The lane will remain closed until crews can evaluate Friday and make a repair.

We saw our first whales of the Puget Sound research trip this afternoon from shore in Henderson Bay: members of the T38s, T99s, and T137s!
We've tracked reports of whales in these southern inlets of Puget Sound for years but have not had many opportunities to see them here firsthand.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Before returning to our regular programming, we are enjoying our Release Party of a Showgirl weekend. Like many Swifties, we've been trying to figure out who each track on the new album is about, and I think we're on to something! 👀

You’ve heard of backlit blows, but how about glitter whales? 🤩 Last week we saw the T90s and T101s in Wasp Passage in the San Juan Islands and Jason’s video was so stunning it deserves to be a standalone clip. Enjoy! ✨
