31 December 2007, Orca Network reports:
We started the day with K40 surfing in the wake of a Foss Tug. It was pretty impressive. At 3:10 pm they were between the S. end of Bainbridge Island & spread out across Elliott Bay. We were also able to get a few scale samples and left the whales (K pod) northbound off of Shilshole.

Brad Hanson of NOAA's NWFSC reported they caught up with K pod around Three Tree Pt, & followed them as they made their way up north. K26 did quite a bit of foraging & they were able to get some samples, they turned back to watch K40 do the surfing thing for 15 minutes, and left the whales off Jefferson Head at 4:40 pm.

Kari Koski from SoundWatch called to report watching K pod from the shores of Alki Pt! The whales were 1/4 - 1/2 mile offshore, spread out, passing by Alki at 2:35 pm, heading north. They were doing some breaching & there were a lot of people walking the beach & watching from the shoreline. What more could anyone want for New Year's Eve?!

Amy Carey reported on K pod off Vashon & Maury Islands - at 12:15 pm they had just passed Pt. Robinson, heading north. At 1:06 pm they had passed Three Tree Pt, heading north toward Dilworth, closer to the Seattle side.

Dec. 31 DJ Mar watched K pod from the Whaler's Village Condos in Des Moines as they passed by Pt. Robinson heading north, a little after noon. They were breaching & spy hopping - it was her first time seeing the whales in her neighborhood - another great New Year's Treat!!
