The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced a tentative schedule for the fall razor clam season.
The season is slated to begin on October 11, and will go until Dec. 23.
The agency estimates the total razor clam population on most Washington’s beaches has increased significantly from last season, based on beach surveys conducted this summer.
The lone exception is Long Beach, an area that is recovering after a decline in clam survival due to low salinity in 2017.
