Geoduck Clams Small Print Fabric bytursiart

Geoducks are the World's largest burrowing clam! They are native to the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest (Primarily Washington State and British Columbia). The common name (pronounced “Gooey-duck”) is derived from the Lushootseed (Nisqually) word gʷídəq. Geoducks can live more than 150 years and can grow more than 3 feet in length. The large meaty siphon is prized for it's savory flavor and crunchy texture and the hunting of Geoducks is very closely regulated to prevent over harvesting. A Geoduck named “Speedy” is the mascot of the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA The Pacific Northwest is the BEST!
