Does anyone know about using crushed shells (clam or oyster) for driveways in Washington State?

Mona,
Crushed shells seem to be most common in Florida. Do you have a local supplier?
Here's a link to a blog and a photo:

Only your local jurisdiction can confirm whether your intended driveway material is considered pervious for their purposes. They should be able to provide a checklist list of acceptable materials.
