Coastal razor clam digging will return Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced two rounds of evening digs after toxin tests showed the bivalves are safe to consume. Diggings start no sooner than 4:26 p.m., Nov. 4, and run through Nov. 11. The times vary each day depending on evening low tides at Long Beach in Twin Harbors.

Anyone hoping to pull up the razor clams age 15 and older must have the appropriate license from the fish and wildlife department.

Another round of digging has been proposed for late November, depending on favorable toxin tests. That dig would run from Nov. 20-26 at Long Beach.
