@bowker_john There are 5 major int'l cargo and passenger port authorities, alongside roughly two dozen smaller regional and public port districts plus WA & BC Ferries traffic. Adding 1 to 2 extra oil tankers per day sailing through the Salish Sea isn't going to instantly wipe out the orcas.

@twitkent Off season has always been my favorite time to travel. Even when the weather might be more iffy, I prefer it for the reasons you state. Example, I took a boat trip on Puget Sound in early spring & sat on the deck wrapped in a blanket the entire way. Everybody else was inside. LOL

We're just back from eight weeks almost incommunicado, sailing to BC's Central Coast. It's a long haul north but the Salish Sea affords wonderful views on sunny days: the Comox Glacier (Vancouver Island) from Lund, on the mainland. https://t.co/UJAAqRB4Nb

The tankers are already here. Before Canada adds supertankers, B.C. needs real answers on air pollution, emissions, monitoring and long-term impacts on the Salish Sea.

@susaninseattle1 100% true. My parents always drove us up to Anacortes each Memorial Day weekend to ride a ferry thru the San Juans. Usually to Friday Harbor. So wonderful. One of my favorite Christmas ornaments I have is a little wooden Washington State Ferry.

While Orcas pose almost no threat to humans in the wild, I totally get it. I used used to boat and swim in the Puget Sound and it's sort of a wake up call to see a huge apex predator sliding through the water you were splashing around in 20 minutes ago. https://t.co/aVwKsd1CNG

Another quick coho limit in Puget Sound MA9 on baitfish gyro hootchie. The first keeper hit on the surface 10 feet behind the boat before I could clip into the downrigger. If you’re having trouble finding fish, just follow the birds. #fishing #pugetsound #salmon #pnw https://t.co/EELtQZuCBS

Fewer than 75 Southern Resident orcas remain. Voluntary rules aren't enough. The Canadian government must enforce real, permanent protections now before we lose them forever. #SaveTheOrcas #SalishSea #SRKW https://t.co/PPucczWIRt
