JG is correct geoducks are a huge economic fishery with much of the catch shipped to Asia. Ocean crab and ground fish trawl fisheries are also biggies.

The commercial industry makes a big thing about them catching local salmon and providing them to the general citizens of State. The Columbia River spring Chinook as individual fish are the most valuable salmon caught in nets. I would be very surprised if most of non-treaty commercial caught CR springs do end up being consumed out of State. To get top dollar many of those fish end up in high end restaurants across the US and even Canada.
