Puget Sound starts getting crabby with it for summer 2023

The 2023 Puget Sound summer crab-fishing season is now underway. It started July 1.

A crab biologist with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife says the boat ramp in Everett on opening day was as busy as he's ever seen it.

Just be aware some areas will have limited crabbing or will remain closed because Dungeness crab numbers are still low. And a reminder: Crabbing will be closed on the July 4 holiday.
