   New to Bellingham and looking for paddling partners. I am interested in all levels of whitewater. I have a creek, play boat and I just bought a whitewater tripping canoe. I available most days at the moment and want to take advantage of my spare time :) Thanks and happy paddling everyone!

   Hi there,
  My name is Ryan and I recently moved to Seattle. I am also looking for paddling buddies, I've only got a creek boat at the moment. I am interested in paddling class II-IV rivers anywhere in the state. I am new to the area so I do not know the local spots but we could get out and explore them. I am free most days as well.

   Hi Daniel, I'd be happy to show you parts of the Nooksak if you don't mind going along with a riverboarder! I'm also in Bellingham... Might be best to have another kayak along if we do the 4+ stuff.

   Hi Daniel,
 
 I am passing through Bellingham tonight, on my way up to Vancouver, and I am looking for a paddle tomorrow morning.  I don't have long, but I would paddle a couple of laps of the NF Nooksack with you below Horseshoe Bend to Glacier Creek if you like.
 
 I am in Seattle now but will check the forum again later

   Daniel would you still like to go? The stretch Stephen mentioned is class III. The other section can be scouted from a trail.

   I'll be up in Bham for the weekend taking part in the Ski-to-Sea. I am looking for some people to paddle with on Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon and Monday. 
 
 And I'm down with the riverboards!

   I am new to the area too; living in Lakewood area.  I am interested in paddling during the remainder of memorial day weekend.  If anyone is doing an easy stretch Class III / IV give me a call or text.  
 
 If not I may just drive up to Leavenworth and see if I can jump on with a group doing the Wenatchee ... thoughts ... is there enough people paddling the wenatchee now that I will be able to jump on with a group?
 
 Thanks
 
 Nate (505) 506-8495

   Awesome.  I think I will head up there and shoot for noon ... worst case I get to see some of Washington state play somewhere on the Wenatchee.  Send me a message if you decide to go.
