Postcard - Seattle, Washington

"A 23 1/2 ft. (7.15 m) long, 11,000 pound (4,989 kg) Killer Whale is a rare sight in Elliott Bay, with the downtown Seattle Business District in the background. Killer Whales travel Puget Sound and Strait of Georgia waters in families (pods) of about 12 to 20 whales."

1970s, probably about the same time as the infamous Sea World incident in Budd Inlet. Orcas still occasionally go as far south as Olympia in Puget Sound.
