Shelton is a city of about 10,000 on Oakland Bay at the southern end of Puget Sound. Timber built the town, and a sawmill still runs on the waterfront, while the surrounding inlets support one of the region’s largest shellfish industries. Christmas tree farms in the county gave Shelton its nickname, and OysterFest each fall celebrates the local catch. Forchetta’s wholesale fresh pasta program lets Shelton restaurants and caterers inquire about bronze-die pasta, with logistics confirmed per account.
Shelton’s dining includes seafood and oyster bars, diners, Mexican and Asian kitchens and pubs. Oyster and Christmas tree seasons bring visitors and event work. Fresh pasta pairs well with local shellfish.
