A gray whale swam 20 miles up a small narrow river in southwest Washington 2 days ago and is probably still there

One of the strangest PNW wildlife stories I’ve seen in a while: a gray whale went about 20 miles up the Willapa River and, according to locals in the area, still hasn’t made it back out. Hopefully it doesn't get stuck in cow country.

A young humpback whale swam up the St-Laurent river to Montreal in 2020. It didn’t end well :(

It happens occasionally. There was a cow and calf pair that swam up to Klamath River in the early 2010's
