||| FROM THE SEATTLE TIMES |||
A young gray whale that amazed and confounded onlookers for days this week after winding up 20 miles inland in a Southwest Washington river has died.
The whale first appeared in the North Fork of the Willapa River on April 1.
Although whales occasionally wind up in rivers, it’s not common.
The young whale was found floating lifeless in the river Saturday.
