Connection, collection, culture, and cuisine: Understanding shellfish harvest in Washington

People on a beach near Quilcene dig for shellfish on the tidelands. Hills rise in the background.

While it may seem foreign to most of the country, walking along public beaches with a shovel and bucket in hand to bring home dinner is a pastime Washingtonians know well. With hundreds of public beaches in Puget Sound, recreational shellfish harvesting allows access to local foods year-round for Washington residents.

Making Waves is the Puget Sound Partnership’s online magazine. Making Waves features stories from the people protecting and restoring Puget Sound.
