Crab Heist at Westport Marina | Seattle News

A Fish and Wildlife officer in Westport Marina stumbled upon a crabbing scandal when a suspect, acting nervous and clueless about how many crabs they had, was found with a cooler packed with 67 undersized Dungeness and Red Rock crabs—only two legal to keep. Charged with multiple violations including possession of female crabs and exceeding the daily limit by more than double, the offender also got a warning for having a soft-shell crab. Sixty-five of the crabs were confiscated but then gently released back into the marina, reminding everyone that fishing isn’t just about fun—it’s about respecting the ocean’s resources for future generations.
