'Orca sing' to honor life of Luna the whale
SAN JUAN ISLAND -- The life of Luna, the wayward orca killed in March off Vancouver Island, will be celebrated in song today at Lime Kiln Point State Park on San Juan Island. The public is welcome.

Seattle music director Fred West will direct the City Cantible Choir in special songs of the sea, offering up a requiem to the orca, killed in a collision with a tugboat propeller. The gathering begins at 5:30 p.m.
Singing starts at 7:30, unless resident orcas decide to attend. They've showed up offshore for six out of eight of the choir's "orca sings" over the years. "If the whales come by earlier, we'll just start singing," West said.
