Whale spotted near the Locks?

My Ballard reader Dan said he spotted what appears to be a small gray whale just west of the Ballard Locks around noon on Wednesday, and he sent us this photo. He said it was there for about 20 minutes and then disappeared.

We called the Army Corps at the Locks as well as Shilshole Marina, but both said they hadn’t seen or heard about a whale in the area. It’s not out of the realm of possibility: a gray whale was seen near the Locks several years ago.
