Jennifer’s Review: We went whale-watching yesterday with some friends celebrating a birthday! It was our first time, and we really enjoyed it. Deer Harbor Charters is an excellent family business with knowledgeable captains and naturalists. Nate was our captain, and Trey was our funny — even humorous — naturalist guide. […]
Because of Friday Harbor’s post on their Facebook page, this is what I found today: http://www.desticam.com/ Kenmore Air also links to several webcams: http://www.islandcam.com/ At the bottom, there are links to many different area cameras.
