The Orcas of the Salish Sea are viewed today as an iconic species, but they weren't always seen that way. There was a time when they were feared. 

In this episode, Raye and Beth speak with Lynda Mapes and Ellie Kinley to get a better perspective on how the public changed their views of the Orcas of the Salish Seas.
