Below is an article from the November 6, 1930 Stanwood newspaper that tells about growing oysters in Port Susan Bay at Warm Beach. I don't know what happened to these 15,000 oysters, but I think the constant winter storms would have washed the oysters up the beach, and different predators (starfish, seagulls, crows, ect...) could have reduced their numbers, and a very cold winter or hot summer could have killed many. They may not have gotten the 400,000 oyster spat, from Japan, they were planning on in the spring of 1931.
