Fish and Wildlife Department giving crabbers a bonus season

Didn’t catch enough Dungeness crab this summer?
You’re in luck.

Officials at the state Fish and Wildlife Department have opened a new recreational crab season this fall in many areas of Puget Sound because plenty of crab remain.

“The openings were approved by fishery managers after summer catch assessments by WDFW indicated additional crab are available for harvest during the late season,” officials said in a news release.

The bonus season, for people who have a crab endorsement of their fishing license, began Tuesday and will be open seven days a week through Dec. 31.
