Tentative Clam Dig

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will confirm that schedule prior to each dig, provided that upcoming marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat.

Under WDFW’s plan, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks beaches will open for digging at noon Jan. 1, extending a dig previously scheduled for New Year’s Eve dig at four ocean beaches.

Starting Jan. 28, WDFW then plans to open various beaches for razor-clam digging through Feb. 3. No digging will be allowed at any beach before noon.

Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, said the Jan. 1 opening is designed to give families a chance to ring in the new year digging clams on the beach.

“We know that digging razor clams is a New Year’s tradition for many families and we want to help them keep tradition alive,” Ayres said.

That and other digs are proposed on the following beaches, dates and evening low tides:

• Jan. 28, Sunday, 4:06 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Mocrocks

• Jan. 29, Monday, 4:59 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Copalis

• Jan. 30, Tuesday, 5:47 p.m.; -1.5 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

• Jan. 31, Wednesday, 6:33 p.m.; -1.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis

• Feb. 1, Thursday, 7:17 p.m.; -1.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

PACIFIC COUNTY

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Effective September 1, 2013, Pacific County transitioned to a new emergency notification system.

This system may be used by emergency response personnel to notify specific homes and businesses at risk with information about a disaster or emergency event.

If you registered your cellular or VoIP phone number prior to September 1, 2013, you are encouraged to re-register and landline users are encouraged to update their information.

The new system can be personalized based on your needs and the type of noti-fications you wish to receive.

The hyper-reach system notifies you by email, phone, and/or text in the event of an emergency.
