Delight in the Serene Sound of the Gentle Waves rolling in. What’s that Splashing in the water?– oh that’s probably just Sammy and Sally, our local seals - be sure to say hi to them – as they know their names. :) Hopefully you’ll catch a glimpse of the silhouette of Harry, our resident Heron fishing patiently on the rocks, but you’ll need to be quiet as he’s very Shy. And did you see that? There’s an Eagle catching a fish in the Famous Frenchman’s Pool directly in front of Orca’s Play. Spectacular! Did you know that in August 1983 a 62lb Tyee King Salmon was caught in Frenchman’s Pool and then 13 days later another 61 lb salmon was brought in. (And guys eat your heart out as they were both caught by women :)
Maybe you feel like relaxing on your Observation Deck with a refreshing beverage. Shhhh – What’s that sound? Is it an ORCA? OMG! It’s a Whole Pod! WOW! And then Look! there’s a Shimmering Cruise Ship sailing by. Perhaps you’d enjoy a game of cards or just kick back and read a book – that is if you can take your eyes off the Dynamically changing View of ‘Tugboat Alley’ long enough….
Need to freshen up your clothes – no problem – there is a Private, Complimentary Washer and Dryer in your residence.
