State shellfish managers have approved a six-day razor clam dig starting Oct. 17 and have scheduled tentative dates for additional openings in November.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the final October dig after marine toxin tests confirmed the clams are safe to eat.
The dig runs from Oct. 17-22 and begins after noon each day on the following beaches:
--Oct. 17, Thursday, 6:15 p.m.; -0.2 feet; Twin Harbors;
--Oct. 18, Friday, 6:57 p.m.; -0.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks;

--Oct. 21, Monday, 8:55 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Twin Harbors and Mocrocks;
--Oct. 22, Tuesday, 9:34 p.m.; -0.1 feet; Twin Harbors.
The department has also tentatively scheduled additional digs Nov. 1-8 and Nov. 15-20, provided upcoming marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat.
WDFW will announce the final word on upcoming digs after marine toxin tests have been completed.
