This park is one of the best sites in the world for land-based whale watching. Thanks to the State of Washington for providing such an excellent resource. Boat-based whale watching is inherently unsustainable. We should all enjoy orca from land, as can be done uniquely from this park. For more information about the problems with boat-based and advantages of land-based whale watching such as at this premier park, please see http://triskelon.net/terence/orca/
