Orca depend on Brinnon - Dabob Bay, Jackson Cove, Pleasant Harbor, Pulali Point - For Habitat and Food

Love Orca? They are often spotted in the Brinnon area.

January-February, 2003, a pod of orca visited Dabob Bay, around Jackson Cove and Pulali Point, and surrounding area. About nine orca put on quite a show. They twirled and played and also feasted on an estimated 1,000 seals in the six weeks they were spotted. There were many orca spottings in our end of Hood Canal again in April, 2005. A lot of fascinating Hood Canal orca stories were logged on the Orca Network.

See the Orca Network for recent sightings in this area and pod movements throughout Puget Sound.
