Wave Trek Snohomish county, Washington whitewater outfitter     Kayaks Rafts The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The starting location is a short drive from Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this     general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
