Why Gray Whales Choose this Region Scientists believe these magnificent mammals began making a pit stop to feed in our waters during their marathon trek when food was scarce and kept coming back after they discovered the dense beds of tasty ghost shrimp on which

they feed. Only a handful (about 10-12) whales are aware of this delicious secret that lies between the south end of Camano and Whidbey Islands.
