Washington State Shellfish Lab

After we checked out the shellfish displays here we drove along the Hood Canal, a glacier-carved fjord on the Olympic Peninsula. The Dosewallips and Duckabush rivers feed into the Hood Canal. We've canoed these rivers many times, and also stayed in local campgrounds. It is shellfish season, and people were out on the beach collecting and digging, bringing their clams and oysters into camp for dinner.
