## Resource

Bigg’s killer whales are on the rise in Puget Sound and Salish Sea, appearing far more frequently than a decade ago—especially in Bellingham Bay—thanks to abundant prey like seals. Their growing numbers signal a thriving ecosystem, contrasting with the fish-focused southern residents. The Orca Network’s reports skyrocketed from 2,000 in 2014 to over 14,000 last year, mostly Bigg’s. Pods like T-123 are making Bellingham Bay their spring hotspot, hinting at a busy, healthy season ahead. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
