Washington designated the orca whale (Orcinus orca) as the official marine mammal in 2005 due to the research and persuasion of second graders from the Crescent Harbor Elementary School in Oak Harbor, WA. This symbol is intended to promote orca awareness and to encourage protection of the natural marine habitat.  Pods of orcas migrate annually through Puget Sound. It is a significant symbol for the Native American culture.
