Gray whale struggling to survive on beach in Wash.
EVERETT, Wash. — A live, gray whale is struggling to survive after it was beached in shallow water along the coast of Washington.
National Marine Fisheries Service spokesman Brian Gorman says the outlook isn’t good for the animal because gray whales don’t normally come ashore unless they are injured or sick.
The whale was discovered Thursday at Harborview Park in Everett.
Gorman says workers from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife are trying to keep the whale comfortable.
He says the whale might be the same one spotted recently in the ocean near Everett.
