Gonzalez is 5'06", weighing 160 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes, and was last observed on the Wishkah Road in the area of mile post 10 on February 21st, 2013. Green said Perez-Gonzalez has family members in the Aberdeen area who have had no contact with him since then.

OLYMPIA - Clam diggers will get one more chance to dig razor clams this season during a three-day opening at Twin Harbors, running Friday through Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

The morning dig scheduled May 24-26 got the green light from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) after marine toxin tests showed the clams at Twin Harbors are safe to eat.

All other ocean beaches will remain closed to clam digging, and digging at Twin Harbors must end each day at noon.

"This last dig caps off a great season," said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager. "Since last October, diggers have harvested more than five million razor clams, making this season the most productive in over 20 years."

Ayres said annual harvest quotas have been met at all razor-clam beaches except Twin Harbors, which started the season with an exceptionally large population of razor clams. WDFW also adopted a new method to set catch levels at Twin Harbors and Long Beach, which also boosted the allowable harvest at both beaches this season, he said.

Harvest limits aside, Ayres said WDFW routinely closes the razor clam fishery by the end of May to give the clams a chance to spawn. The next season will begin in fall, when the older clams have recovered from spawning and a new generation begins to grow beneath the sand.
