This past week has brought us many unforgettable wildlife encounters, including a sea otter, socializing orcas, and newborn harbor seals!

It’s hard to believe it’s mid-July already—we hope the summer is giving you moments to bask in the natural world as well. It’s truly spectacular!

In honor of World Otter Day we wanted to share a photo of an uncommon visitor to the San Juan Islands. We affectionately call this guy “Maytag” as he always seems to be on the spin cycle while he’s maintaining his fur coat.
