WDFW approves Seven Days Of Razor Clam Digs

Beginning Saturday, March 8.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers confirmed seven days of razor clam digs on coastal beaches beginning Saturday, March 8.

"The upcoming low tide series occurs before sunset each day resulting in daylight digs,” said Bryce Blumenthal, WDFW’s recreational razor clam manager. “Hopefully the swell and weather cooperate to allow for some successful harvest opportunity.”

Not all coastal beaches are open for every dig, so diggers are encouraged to make sure their intended destination is open before heading out. Most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide.

The following confirmed digs during late afternoon/evening (digging is allowed from noon to midnight only) low tides will proceed as scheduled, after marine toxin results from the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) showed razor clams are safe to eat:
