WDFW approves razor clam dig starting Friday at four beaches

OLYMPIA Clam diggers officially got the green light today for a five-day razor clam dig set to begin Friday on four ocean beaches.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife last week announced the evening dig the second of the fall season but it became official after marine toxin tests showed that the clams on all four beaches are safe to eat.

Four beaches will be open for digging Friday and Saturday, three will be open on Sunday and Monday, and one Twin Harbors will be open on Tuesday. No digging will be allowed on any beach before noon.

Dates, beaches, and evening low tides for the proposed digs are as follows:

Oct. 4, Friday, 6:56 p.m.; 0.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks

Oct. 5, Saturday, 7:36 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks

Oct. 6, Sunday, 8:17 p.m.; -0.7 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
