PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Commercial crab fishing is a lucrative industry in Washington, generating tens of millions in the state's economy. That said, it’s a dangerous job; the CDC reports that nearly 900 U.S. fishermen have died on the job in the last two decades.
“Fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world," said Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democratic congresswoman for Washington's 3rd district.
