Been close to that situation myself Gutz. WDFW web site (click on "Fishing/Shellfishing") does a pretty good job of listing the crabbing regs. You're right about the 'ducs. I used to like to go out to Anna's Bay on the lowest tide of the year and do a combo geoduck/crabbing trip. Brought home lots of good eating. Incidentally, lowest tide this year is June 15 at minus 3.8 feet....
