Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife - Fishing, hunting, recreation

WDFW will host a virtual public meeting on Aug. 28 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to discuss the update to the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP).

The fishery will be open seven days per week for fall Chinook and coho retention through Sept. 4.

For the fourth year in a row, commercial whale-watching vessels must stay at least one-half nautical mile away from vulnerable whales this summer -- and that same buffer will apply to nearly all vessels starting in 2025.
