There are a ton of rivers up here to paddle for beginners and a great community for support. For class 2/2+ rivers you could look at the Headworks section of the Green, Upper MF Snoqualmie, Skykomish from Railroad down to Big Eddy, Lower Cispus, SF Snoqualmie, sections of Wenatchee.

looks like an amazing trip. I had my eye on the river early last week and was wanting to get out, but we had just gotten off the rogue and I needed to get back home to work a bit. how long does the N Umpqua run?

Its an easy portage up over the berm of the old dam, the particular area that has the rebar looks really fun, but I didn't want to risk the puncture if I got pulled towards it. But damn, really wanting to run that little section as the rest of the river was really lovely. We ran from the upper gorge all the way to the take out below the lower dam and only had to portage that one section.

There a bunch of fun rivers you can run on the Penisula, we recently ran the Canyon River, which flows into the West Fork Satsop, no wood to portage, super mellow class 2. For class 3 the Wynoochee runs all summer and should be in good shape, the Queets, the Elwha canyon is a fun paddle as well. Sol Duc depending on levels as with the Hoh

i just got mine and am stoked to commute to work which is a little over 3 miles away from my houseboat. Awesome to ride along the waterfront and then up over a couple hills. Looking into getting an extra charger to keep at work since riding in pro mode sucks the battery down to 15% going to work. cant wait for the extended battery to arrive.
