Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A real-time whale-sighting map that lets people report species, group size, direction, location, and optional photos without creating an account.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

Reports are built around practical observation details rather than a generic pin: visitors select the species, estimate the group size, record movement direction, and place a crosshair where the animals were actually seen. The page describes coverage across Puget Sound and the Salish Sea and says its map combines local reports with the Acartia sightings network, including feeds from Orca Network and Whale Alert. Names and notes are optional, and the reporting process is presented as anonymous.
