Washington’s razor clam season kicks off October 6 with a full week of digs on the coast at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks. State shellfish managers say harvesters should expect some smaller clams early on and remember the rule to keep the first 15 clams they dig, no matter the size. The green light for each beach depends on last-minute toxin tests, so final openings are confirmed just days before. Officials also urge beachgoers to grab their licenses ahead of time, drive carefully on the sand, and steer clear of nesting shorebirds.
