The Orcas are rarely seen here in town. They mostly spend the summer in the San Juans. I have seen them here a handful of times in the 8 years I've been in town. They are in the south sound quite a bit in the winter but just pass through on their way south.

About the fire, I suspect you are refering to the Aldrich's grocery. Tragic loss, but it won't interfere with access to the water. The fire was in the uptown area.

I will do what I can to get you a fish for your new grill.
