Tacoma Real Estate | Whale Watching

Working in the Tacoma Real Estate market has some excellent advantages! I took a little time out the other day to cruise around 5 mile drive in Pt Defiance and see if I could spot the gray whale that's been hanging around lately. I got the call from my brother that he had spotted one while on the ferry to Vashon Island over a month ago. Apparently the living is good for the whale as he/she was still in the area.

I stopped on the bluff overlooking Pt Defiance looking out towards Dalco Point, and sure enough he made an appearance. Unfortunately the whale was on the Vashon side of the water and was nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. Another whale watcher was there with a 2 foot telephoto lens on his camera and seemed very excited at the shots he was getting.

He was clicking away when I shot this pic with my little digital camera. See him?

Now if you can spot the whale in this pic, you most likely have feathers, talons and sleep in a nest. But it was fun to take some time out of the day and enjoy what Tacoma has to offer.

Sounds like you had a great day Brett. I need to take a day and go up to Yosemite. I only live an hour away and never get up there. Thanks for the great reminder to take advantage of where you live.

I'm spoiled, not many places in the country you can whale watch from the beach!

Yosemite is on my to do list, looks beautiful from what I've seen.

Do I win a prize if I spot the whale? I thought I could see it but it may just be my old eyes playing tricks on me.
