Yes folks, it is true. The famous geoduck (pronounced “gooey duck”) is making Belfair, Allyn, Grapeview and Shelton Washington real estate even more popular than before. These ugly ducklings range in size from 7-12 pounds and sell as a restaurant delicacy for $10 or more per pound in as odd of places as China and Vietnam. They are comonly thought to be the world’s largest inter-tidal clam or mollusk and they are cultivated in many places in Puget Sound and Hood Canal. They are found deep in the tidal sands and got their names from our early native ancestors. Their name translates to be “dig deep” which is what you must do if you wish to find them. There are even special geoduck shovels for finding the critters. To cultivate these creatures, people plant their seeds in pvc pipe and watch them grow over a period of 5-7 years at which time they begin harvesting them. However, a geoduck of 100 years is not at all uncommon, they have been recorded as living to as much as 165 years. They can spawn a lot of babies in that time. Therefore, many beach owners are leasing their beach rights to people to these growers thus having their beaches help pay for themselves. One more good reason to buy real estate in Mason County Washington.
