Tide Charts
Clamming and collecting oysters and mussels occurs best at low-tide. Check the tides in the location you are headed before you get there. The lower your tides, the better your chances of reaching your daily limits. Click below for the best tides around King County in 2022.
Mushrooming Guidelines
Mushrooming is one long adventure. Different parks have different rules, but mycological societies are the place to start. If you want to start mushrooming, check out the Puget Sound Mycological Society or the Kitsap County Mycological Society for memberships and guided trips.
