Razor clam digging is a classic Pacific Northwest tradition, and this hub guide from Seattle Fishing Company covers everything you need to plan a trip to the Washington coast. Four dedicated beaches stretch across about 100 miles of Pacific and Grays Harbor county coastline, each 2.5 to 3.5 hours from Seattle: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks.
Seasons generally run from early fall through late spring around minus-tide series, with evening digs early in the season shifting to mornings later on. Each date is approved only days ahead after marine toxin testing. Long Beach and Twin Harbors are typically open every day of a series, while Copalis and Mocrocks alternate.
The guide explains license requirements, the daily limit, the rule that every clam dug must be kept, and the requirement that each digger use a separate container. It also shows how to spot a clam’s “show,” why many diggers prefer a clam gun, what gear to pack and how to drive legally on the sand. Links to detailed guides for each beach make it easy to choose where to dig. Always check WDFW’s current status right before you go.
