Titlow Beach home owner Julia Lundblad and her son, Marcus Raschkow looks at a view of Puget Sound at Titlow Beach in Tacoma, Wash., on Thursday, March 9, 2017. Because the small Washington community of Titlow Beach lies in such intimate proximity to the Puget Sound, homeowners with mortgages have to carry flood insurance. The cost of that insurance, if you can get it, can be exorbitant. Some homeowners said they’ve been told to expect their monthly premiums to see huge spikes over the next several years.

The federal government is considering a petition that calls for a whale protection zone on the west side of Washington's San Juan Island. Three groups have asked NOAA Fisheries to establish an area that would restrict most motorized vessels in order to protect endangered southern resident killer whales from noise and other disturbances.

FILE - This September 2015 photo provided by NOAA Fisheries shows an adult female orca, identified as J-16, as she's about to surface with her youngest calf, born earlier in the year, near the San Juan Islands in Washington state's Puget Sound. Whale researchers who track the small endangered population of Puget Sound orcas say three whales are believed dead or missing since summer. The Center for Whale Research says that as of Friday, Oct. 28, 2016, there are only 80 animals. Two females and a 10-month old calf are believed gone. (NOAA Fisheries/Vancouver Aquarium via AP, File)
