Humpback Whale Saved from Second Entanglement In Just Over a Month: The Whale Museum and Cascadia Research Collective led another successful disentanglement response.
In the Pacific Northwest of the United States lives the Southern Resident Community of Orcas, an endangered population of orcas, sometimes known as "killer whales".
The Whale Museum, located in beautiful Friday Harbor, Washington, opened to the public in 1979 as the first museum in the country devoted to a species living in the wild. Today, our museum continues to promote stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research.
Help support the Southern Resident orcas by making a donation, adopting an orca, or becoming a member of The Whale Museum. Or, simply pay us a visit! Our Gallery of Whales is a great way for individuals, students and families to receive a personal introduction to the whales of the Pacific Northwest. Purchase admission tickets online.
Our current hours are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily. (closed on some holidays and scheduled refurbishment and inventory dates). If you are planning on visiting the museum as a group, we do offer a schedule around our open hours.
Please call or email with any questions: (360) 378-4710 ext. 1030 or info@whalemuseum.org.
