Is razor clam digging open in Washington today?
No. WDFW postponed all Washington razor clam digs until further notice on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 because marine toxin (domoic acid) levels are rising above the Department of Health limit. No beach is open for digging. New dates will be announced when toxin tests allow, and DigTide will alert you the moment that happens.

How "open" is decided
A Washington razor clam beach is open only on a date WDFW has approved for it, and approval comes a few days ahead, after the Department of Health has tested clams from that beach for domoic acid twice. Between approved dates the beach is closed to digging even on a perfect minus tide, and a toxin closure overrides everything.
This page reads WDFW's razor clam page and the Department of Health closure map every hour, and every ten minutes in the afternoons when announcements land. The full schedule has every date; each beach page has access and parking notes. The DigTide app pushes an alert the moment a beach is approved or closed.

Stop checking. Get told.
DigTide alerts you the minute your beach is approved, and the minute it closes.
