Hi Betsy, Thanks for capturing such great photos and taking the time to get a measurement and coordinates on it! Exactly the details we need! We’ve shared this straight along to WDFW so they can continue to track sightings along the rockier northern reaches of the coast where populations are known (here’s the map of WDFW trapping efforts from 2024: https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2025-03/egc-2024-detections-map.pdf) but still much more patchy than in the two estuaries to the South. I hope it was a lovely time out on the shore! Feel free to reach out if any more information would be of interest. – Lisa
