An Encounter with the T137s in Mukilteo
Story + Photography by Sara Montour Lewis
This summer, while our resident Orca pods have been elsewhere in search of food, we’ve been lucky enough to have Transient pods in our waters nearly every day. These images + videos are from an encounter with the charismatic T137s from the shores of Mukilteo Lighthouse Park.
The T137s consist of T137/Loon (a female born in 1983), the matriarch of this little family, along with her offspring, T137A/Jack (a male born in 2002), T137B/Tempest (born in 2006), and T137D/Wright (born in 2012).
