what state

It takes place in Astoria, Oregon..it took me a while to figure this out, but it is because thats where they filmed and in the movie you can see that they go over The Astoria Bridge. And plus it would have to be somewhere by the ocean so that doesnt leave too many places..Killer Whales are mostly in Pacific Waters, so that would leave Washington and Oregon and yeah, lol. But its Oregon. Hope I helped!

Drink up me hearties YO HO!

It was supposed to be one area with the exception of the very beginning which was the San Juans. As Astorians we were confused because we assumed that the kid was picked up at Pioneer Square in Portland but brought to the coast for his foster home. I was an extra and found out that it was supposed to be Astoria but the aquarium is in Newport, OR, his house and the fish market are in Astoria (I was the blonde girl street kid walking with his "bad" friend at the fish market) and a lot of the bridge scenes were in Portland and Newport (though they show the Megler Bridge which is the bridge from Astoria to Washington). Also, the basin where Keiko jumps the jetty is in Warrenton. Hope that helps!

I would assume Washington because they had Washington lisence plates. I would assume Portland, and Astoria were both supposed to be the same town in the movie. I would assume it was a town in the movie in WA like Seattle. But they sure did a poor job lol. I recognized the Pioneer Courthouse Square and the Max train in the background, Waterfront Park, the Oregon Convention Center when Jessie rides his bike across the bridge.

People who have been to Astoria would recognize the town too because of the bride.

Oh yeah at the beginning of the movie, one of Jessie's friend's mentions the ferry to a stranger and he tells him "Get out of here."
There are no ferries here in Portland so it's obvious it's supposed to take place in northern WA where the islands are and the Puget sound, etc. There are lot of ferries up there.
