Razor Clam Dig

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved eight days of digging, beginning May 13. WDFW gave the okay for the series of digs after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat. No digging will be allowed on any beach after noon.

The agency also announced a list of proposed digs, which would run May 27 through June 1. Final approval of these digs will depend on marine toxin tests that will be conducted closer to the start date, said Dan Ayres, WDFW shellfish manager. The agency will announce final approval based on the results of the tests.

The following are approved and proposed dig dates, time and locations.
