I can’t recall whether I saw pods alongside my ship inside Puget Sound, but it’s likely I did. I can’t recall ever going out to sea without seeing at least one, maybe two. I got a kick out of Dahl’s porpoise, which are the slightly larger than the porpoise everyone knows, but they’re marked black-and-white like an orca. They would follow really closely - thrilling.
