SEATTLE — Marine biologists have confirmed an unusual sighting of a bottlenose dolphin in Puget Sound.

John Calambokidis of Cascadia Research tells KING-TV the dolphin doesn’t typically travel this far north. The animal was spotted in Budd Inlet near Olympia on Thursday.

Biologists say the dolphin seems healthy though very lost.
