LISTING SUMMARY
Rare opportunity to acquire an established Pacific oyster farming operation on Willapa Bay, Washington — the largest commercially farmed shellfish bay in the United States. This is an asset sale that includes fee simple real estate, approximately 300 acres of permitted oyster beds, approximately $2.4 million in biological inventory currently in the water, shore-side processing and offloading infrastructure, the Willapearl brand, and established customer relationships in domestic and international markets.

The Asset
Unlike most aquaculture operations, this offering includes fee simple ownership of the underlying real property — 12 parcels totaling the Bay Center waterfront site at 378 Bay Center Dike Rd, South Bend, WA 98586. The oyster beds span approximately 300 acres of intertidal and subtidal growing area in Willapa Bay, with multiple harvest cohorts in the water at any given time. Year-round harvest capability provides revenue continuity that seasonal wild-capture fisheries cannot match.
The biological inventory — Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) at various growth stages — is estimated at approximately $2.4 million and is included in the asking price. Buyers are encouraged to conduct independent verification of current inventory levels as part of their due diligence.

Why Willapa Bay
Willapa Bay produces a nationally significant share of U.S. commercial oyster output and is widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most productive shellfish estuaries in the country. New permits and acreage allocations in the bay are rarely issued, making an established 300-acre position a scarce and difficult-to-replicate asset. Pacific oysters from this region command premium pricing in domestic restaurant and retail channels, as well as in Asian and European export markets.
