Orcas or killer whales have an enormous range, inhabiting all of the world's oceans. In the northeast Atlantic, they appear in abundance around the Norwegian coast, and in the north Pacific they can be found along the Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska. They are also found in the Southern Ocean off much of the coast of Antarctica. Along the West Coast of the United States of America, orcas are found mostly in the Puget Sound area of Washington State extending as far north as Alaska, and southward off the California coast. Rarely are they sighted off the coast of Oregon, and whenever they do, they usually make news.
