There seems to be some uncertainty over where Whites range. Some sites I'm finding say they don't like cold water, but others say they do, which is what I've heard elsewhere. They (like orcas) seem to show up where seals are, which is why there's so many around San Francisco. In any case even if Whites may be scarce by you, there's other friends for Ruthy to play with :)

Gigantic Secrets Of Sixgill Sharks

Mystery surrounds sixgills, Puget Sound's largest resident sharks at an average of 7 to 9 feet long. . ."Imagine catching that on a rod and reel," said Bargmann as the crew raised a 630-pound shark out of the water. As it turned out, the 11-footer was the largest of 45 fish tagged that day in Colvos Passage. Many weighed several hundred pounds, but most were considerably smaller. Despite their size, sixgills are docile creatures. They don't attack people.

See, they don't attack people, Ruthy? Now don't you feel like you want to go swimming with 'em?--don't they look cute and cuddly? :)
