The Pacific Northwest is filled with wondrous sights and fun experiences. From bigfoot himself to dolphins and whales in the Pacific Ocean, there is no shortage of wildlife to see.
Puget Sound is a complex water system in the Pacific Northwest. Several major cities, including Seattle and Tacoma, are situated along the sound. The sound is also a great opportunity for travelers to see and meet wildlife.
The close proximity to major cities and suitable whale habitats makes the waterway a must-see for those who want to see wild Orcas.
The easiest way to make sure you see a whale is by booking a tour with one of the tour companies operating out of a major city. A big, and reputable one, is Puget Sound Express. The company offers several different itineraries and guarantees whale sightings.
The Puget Sound Express operates out of several different ports and places. On the other side of the sound, near Olympia, the company operates out of Port Townsend.
While you are out on a whale-watching expedition on the sound, you can run into a number of different species. From the “Killer” Orcas to Humpback whales, the sound is a great place to try your luck for these marine mammals.
