Western Washington’s Native American culture includes shellfish “Shellfish are central to the culture of tribes in Western Washington. Healthy shellfish populations and a strong shellfish industry mean a healthy Puget Sound. Shellfish also help keep Puget Sound’s waters clean. They have an important place in the Sound’s ecosystem.” Billy Frank, Chairman Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (used with permission)
