No.  I do no coastwise paddling down here, though.  In any case, I bet 
whales avoid the mouth of the Columbia, owing to the heavy shipping 
traffic, etc.

Seen several humpbacks in the Barkley Sound area, though.  Now and then, 
there will be one that seems to patrol BS, exploring some of the inner 
passages.  March is a fave time for humpies in BS -- herring are spawning then.
