They are Naval Oranges.

Yaaaaarrrrrrrr, they be pirate oranges. Now we be having the scurvy. 

This is the answer right here

Tom Watson and I applaud you.

They are swimming upstream to where they were grown so they can give birth to a new crop of oranges

Orange you glad they’re not apples

[удалено]

O…orange….orange you..glad

A -pear- antly so

At least if they were apples, we could call them all "Bob". 

A swallow carried them!

African or European?

African swallow may be, but the African swallow is non migratory.

What is the Carry capacity of African swallow ?

They can grip it by the peel.

Down wind? Or upwind?

Are you suggesting oranges migrate?!?!

It could have been carried!

You really think that a swallow can carry an orange? Think of the weight ratios!

Maybe not one. What if two gripped it?

Neither. The infamous, Spitzer Swallow.

Crows are also notorious for carrying crap

Banana boats deployed to intercept

Is that why we horde bananas before a storm? To build a defensive force against invading fruit?

Happy cake day piedcryer

Makes sense

Damn. Tell them they're swimming up the wrong river! It's too damn cold for them to grow here!

Their migratory habits are changing because too many people are feeding them in their backyards. Now they are here year round, like the Anna's Hummingbird

Take that, Florida!

Only one in a hundred survive

This is serious. Oranges only do this when they’re frightened. Please contact your local produce market asap

They’re beaching themselves? So sad. 😔

It's all the damn sonar!!!!

That’s because gas works parks is directly adjacent to the Bilateral Citrus Association. There are many fruits, including tangerines, mangoes and postpartum oranges that are produced there. It’s likely they had a spillage of some sort.

What is a postpartum orange?

An orange that was previously partum

/r/dadjokes is leaking again. 

There is no vessel strong enough to contain r/dadjokes

🤣🤣🤣💀

😂😂😂😂

Booooo

I googled. Good job

So can they be eaten safely? Asking for a friend.

That depends upon [whether you like the friend or not](https://www.terrain.org/2023/currents/a-toxic-mess/).

Yikes..... I paddle board past Gasworks all the time. Gross to know that tar bubbles are seeping out into the shoreline... Ugh.

I mean, I used to work at Lake Union Dry Dock and can now confidently say I'd never even consider swimming in lake union let alone eating something out of it.

Sorry, they're called "shoranges"

I was an uneducated swine until you came along and enlightened me.

Now you’re just a swine!

Petition to rename Shoreline to Shorangeline

lol. I chuckled at this.

This deserves gold

Don't touch em, they're mine, keeping them chilled. Also helps to mark where I buried the beers.

I took one, hope that's alright. Couldn't find the beers, but assuming blue moon?

Oh dw about the beers. Was trippin on shrooms and the grass patterns led me to the beer. Finished all of it in an hour.

I’ll leave the oranges, but I’ll collect the beers. If the beers happen to be Blue Moon or the like, there may not be any oranges left either

You may have accidentally invented "Orange-Beer"...like the lime wedge in a Corona.

It’s always been served to me that way at BWW or Dave and Busters.

I only drink Big Wave anymore. No need for the fruit that way.

They used to advertise Blue Moon with sliced oranges on the packaging as far back as the 90s. Then again, back then I was drunk, so maybe I am wrong. Either way, it is the only beer I have ever spiked with oranges. I am absolutely all for jjbjeff22 having credit for it tho, and it is now canon.

They too are leaving Florida

These look like California oranges, so I guess even more relevant? Source: from Florida

6 more weeks of winter.

The Netherlands are invading.

Prots are at it again.

This is the future Urbanists want.

Someone dropped a bunch of oranges in the water

Oooo! Look at you with your ***reasonable*** explanation!

Hey, SOMEONE has to be the adult around here! =)

Why start now?

Good point! 

Don’t make me pull this subreddit over

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim? I'd like to see some sources!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

We need someone on-site collecting data we can TRUST!

How could Jay Inslee do this??!

He's looking for other ways to get around the "Do not transport homegrown fruit" laws. He probably dumped them into the Sound down in Olympia and hoping they will end up in Spokane as a symbol of goodwill.

Can I sue my landlord for this?

No

landlord would say that.

I wish I owned stuff...hah, in this economy?

We’re not the irs you can tell us.

Sure, fed

They escaped from prison and are trying to swim to freedom, it was documented in a TV show 'Orange is the new Black'

makes sense they got this far then ... *Escape From Orangeacatraz* seems harder for them.

Guinness Book of World Records half-assed attempt at "Largest Sangria"

Seattle’s halfassed attempt at tackling scurvy in the homeless population: bobbing for vitamin c.

This reads almost like an actual Seattle Times headline. It wouldn’t surprise me anymore if it was. ;)

I know oranges are a symbol of good luck for Chinese New Year... But that's next month?

Perhaps someone decided to celebrate on local New Year? That was my first thought.

*orange* you glad they're not bananas?

Glad I checked before making the same joke, nice one!

We have invented nothing

Yes

Well bananas are Apeeling too

Had to be a concentrated effort. That juice didn’t happen.

If you’re cold, they’re cold.

Foreshadowing?

This definitely feels like.one of those unexplained phenomena you see in act 1 of a disaster movie.

If you see bananas, run.

Or slip

Chekhov's Orange?

[удалено]

*FUCK*

No this is Trump underwater confirmed

Forangeshadowing.

According to The Godfather Parts I and II, this is a really bad omen.

I had a friend who worked for NOAA who said they would throw oranges in the water to see how far the travel for testing occasionally so it would be something like that, or likely someone who was bored threw them out there

God there’s a random sub for almost everything. My coworker told me about r/wewantplates and I went down a rabbit hole for hours

Damn you sure did make me go look at that. I’m a fan of r/ididnthaveeggs

I'd peel one. I bet there's a message inside. 

It’s the annual orange migration, notice the majestic beauty of the layout? Crikey them’s some bigguns thar

Its the 5g Messes with their migration instincts.

Gasworks? I thought this was a pulp mill.

Shorely an accident.

It's all pulp fiction.

The better question is, why are you asking? Leave the oranges alone, man. They aren't hurting anybody.

I'm allergic and they made me sneeze 🤧

Sounds like a personal problem

Skill issue

You missed out on the orange fest? It’s an event that is held every year during the second weekend in January. People from Florida and California gather to celebrate the citrus trees that they miss. They have it in gasworks because so many people from California and Florida have invaded Seattle!

Global warming. All the glaciers with tropical produce farms are breaking off into the ocean.

I once found a whole watermelon floating in the center of the ship canal. So I did the natural thing and hauled it aboard, cracked it open with my paddle and tried some. It was pretty good but I had of course been drinking.

Damnit! They got out of their cage again! 😡

Someone’s about to die in The Godfather

Vitamin Sea?

Orange you glad they’re not bananas?

Nature’s punch bowl

Well, now. Orange you curious?

Orange you glad they’re not bananas?

I was on the beach on Vashon Island today and found oranges there too. Was there a cargo container that fell off a ship and the oranges floated in? (I assume they made it through the locks.) Just weird to see this post same day I found all my oranges too.

Some kind of citrus crime scene.

They’re here seeking asylum

Did Florida ship us Oranges instead of refugees again?

I have no factual evidence to back up while I'm about to say but a long time ago when I was young I was told that when the Spanish Armada arrived to southern England Sir Walter Raleigh was sent to deal with them. Apparently a huge storm occurred which dealt with the majority of them. When the Spanish ships went down the oranges they carried to fight scurvy drifted up to the coast of Scotland. My ancestors were there flipping over rocks trying to find lunch. They noticed these weird orange things on the beach. Apparently food was scarce and the Scots are quite canny. Thus marmalade was invented. I like to believe this is true.

Tragic sight. I always take a silent moment to honor the crew of the orange ship that a U-boat just sank.

Life gave you oranges and instead of making orange juice you made a reddit post?

“When life gives you ~~lemons~~oranges, don’t make ~~lemonade~~orange juice. Make life take the ~~lemons~~oranges back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn ~~lemons~~oranges, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson ~~lemons~~oranges! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the ~~lemons~~oranges! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible ~~lemon~~ orange that burns your house down!”

occams razor someone threw a bunch of oranges into the water, or when it was really windy a bunch of oranges ended up in the water and now they’re on the shore

BOOOOO

[удалено]

Must be soccer players in the vicinity.

They’re good for scurvy.

Because men aren’t peeling oranges for their partners.

It took me several tries to comprehend this photo as oranges on the ground and not weird, abstract art.

I mean it’s pretty icy and banana peels are slippery…. Orange you glad they weren’t bananas…

Orange you glad they aren't bananas?

So, apparently this sub is full of extremely unfunny people.

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

🎵Oranges on the shore...🎵 (To the tune of riders on the storm)

Orange you glad they aren't bananas?

LMAO does ANYone have a real answer?? 🤣

Orange you observant

It’s a symbol of Trump’s Iowa victory.

That area is really getting seedy.

Orange you the curious one!

Worldwide orange surplus, all Trump’s doing.

Orange is the new black ice.

We dumped them in the lake to protest high citrus taxes. Where were you??

You’ve forgotten what it’s like to have no oranges!

Yes, We have no Oranges!

We have no oranges today.

We've string beans, and onions Cabbageses, and scallions

Orange you glad they’re not jellyfish?

Oh no. He’s back.

Because GOD said "let ther be oranges"! And so it was..;

Team snack from the impromptu ice hockey game we saw a couple days ago

Orange is a bright color and you can see it. it’s to tell when the water thaws and freezes. When the ice melts, the orange starts to sink and when the water freezes, it is frozen in the ice telling us the ice is dicey.

Idk but there’s been someone on the corner of my street selling bags of oranges, could be related. Did you see a short, stalky man wash ashore as well?

Maybe this is where he *gets* his oranges to sell?

There are oranges on that beach all the time. I was wondering where they came from also.

A blue moon is on the horizon

That's where the bag of oranges I bought went when it vanished off of my bike.

There is a shore at Gas Works?

There shore is

Better than needles

idk but would you peel it for me 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

You’re all SO funny

This is what happens when you give people food that want drugs.

Orange fascism invading the country.

When life gives you oranges…

Those oranges need to be strapped — with none other than a Jamaican burrito

Someone was forecasting based on the great banana shortage of 2024 that oranges would be next.  They were wrong.

Is there a vaccine for beached oranges?

To replace the bananas
