Razor Clam Seeks Statewide Symbol Designation

David Berger, the author of Razor Clams: Buried Treasure of the Pacific Northwest, Available here on Amazon, has reached out to the Razor Clam Society with an important announcement:

The 6th-grade class of Pacific Beach Elementary has been working hard to designate the razor clam as a state symbol!  The razor clam is an important part of the state’s history and identity, and is a living tradition: more than 400K digger trips annually is typical. It deserves to be the state clam! You can learn more at projectrazorclam.org

Please help by emailing your legislators today in support of SB 5560, which so designates. It’s easy to do through this link which finds your representatives and sends your message, or just your thumbs up. 

Hearing from constituents is key to SB 5560 moving forward. Here’s the link again. Please join your fellow colleagues and razor-clamming friends in supporting this bill! Just takes a minute. Please do it today! Thank you! 

Let’s all ensure that the Razor Clam receives the recognition it deserves! Razor clamming is the third most popular licensed outdoor recreational activity in Washington State, behind freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing.
