Designating the Pacific razor clam as the state clam.

SB 5560 designates the Pacific razor clam (*Siliqua patula*) as Washington's official state clam, a symbolic gesture with no regulatory or economic impact. The bill cites the clam's cultural significance to coastal Indigenous communities and Washingtonians, its role in recreation and sustainable harvesting (up to 8 million clams annually), and its status as a "living tradition" attracting tourists. It adds a new section to state code stating the Pacific razor clam is the official state clam, emphasizing its "golden hued" shell and cultural icon status. This is purely a ceremonial designation with no changes to fishing laws, management, or state spending.
