@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.

Shirley Leisure, listening to Mariners baseball on the radio in Roche Harbor, asks that Home Alive in Seattle contact Bob Stelton. “Tell Bob to keep a low profile, stay alert and always ask who the tour manager is.” Leisure said. @Mariners @shannondrayer @BobStelton @eddievedder

A beautiful evening to be out on the neighbour’s boat, watching the sun set over the Salish Sea. https://t.co/NN0u388V5G

@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.

What's a kelp bed without a kelp blanket? @capthowitt of All Aboard Sailing snapped this photo of a sea otter settling in for a snooze in the San Juan Islands. 🦦 https://t.co/XaPJIfFPuq

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

@airwaterlandcom I’ll be out boating on puget sound this weekend. I could only hope to experience a moment like this.

@123skely A second best option would be Whatcom county. Bellingham. Bellingham stands out as a strong candidate for a Japanese-managed special economic zone experiment due to its existing port and trade infrastructure, strategic cross-border location, manageable scale, historical Japanese https://t.co/GGerjdunz2

@onemanride Not to mention, that water is cold! Will be in Roche Harbor in a couple of weeks. Would love to finally see one of these guys!

The San Juan Islands offer some incredible sailing, with open water, shifting weather, and island views in every direction. I was fortunate to photograph these sailboats during our trip to Orcas Island and San Juan Island. The light, scenery, and movement on the water made for https://t.co/sJGceGbVUR

Crews are responding to reports of a boat on fire docked in the 1100 block of Fairview Ave. N. (South Lake Union). Please avoid the area.

@learning_yohei Yes, go visit Deception Pass. There is no more beauty to be found in the world than at that place. Breathtakingly gorgeous. You can do a jet boat tour, too.

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

Can Seattle's 'worst in the nation' empty commercial office space easily be converted to residential? Ray Connell, whose group actually did so with 3 floors of a South Lake Union office building says: "Happy ending because we are no longer in the office business, but not https://t.co/45ERj0bSJv

@Nads_Shariff It was this weekend. The weather was Seattle but overall it was great. We actually went to the Mariners yesterday and took the boat out on Puget sound today.

Out in the forest, on an island in Puget Sound accessible only by boat, my wife and I came across this little store along the trail that runs on trust. You can take whatever you'd like, then pay once you have cell service again. https://t.co/CeDAHNGDGp

#SouthernResidentKillerWhales are distinct, tightly bonded #Orcas who live+travel through the #SalishSea-only about 74 remain, they're on the brink of extinction #Canada has announced new🚢restrictions for 2026, these measures fall far short of what #endangered🐋need to survive❗️ https://t.co/5nhXMzhVL8
