Wildlife
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my - well, maybe not the tigers. And the lions are the
mountain kind. But if you're looking for wild critters, there are plenty of them here in the
Northwest. Gray whales, seals and orcas frolic in the ocean, while Roosevelt elk, prong-
horn antelope and black bears scamper over land. And raptors, such as bald eagles, often
soar overhead, along with sandhill cranes, downy woodpeckers and many corvid family
species.
San Juan Islands
Ground zero for spotting orcas; several pods live here year-round.
