Come for the food, stay for the company! We‘re going to be at a new location this year! Jeff and Louise Davis have generously reserved their building‘s beautiful event room for our use. They live immediately south of Shilshole Marina and Golden Gardens, right on the water. Potluck dinner, trip coordinator awards, a Trip Coordinator Panel discussion, gear swap, hopefully a guest speaker (I‘m trying to get Tom from American Whitewater), and we‘ll start building our trips and classes for the spring. Sunset West is exactly 1 mile past the Ballard Locks. Stop at the gatehouse and let the guard know you‘re there for the canoe club meeting in the Sunset Room. The guard will direct you to the parking area. The Sunset Room is the 1-story structure between the two 7-story condo buildings.

Join us to help cleanup the Nisqually River Watershed April 11th, 2026 The Nisqually River Cleanup 2026, an annual joint project of Washington Kayak Club, Washington Recreational River Runners and Paddle Trails Canoe Club, to help clean up the Nisqually River once again. This is our seventh year of what we now consider to be an annual event. As in past years, we are undertaking this cleanup with support from the Nisqually River Foundation and other partners, including Thurston County Public Works, LeMay Pacific Disposal, City of Centralia, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), American Whitewater, American Rivers and its National River Cleanup® Initiative. We will boat the river, stopping to pick up trash along the way. If McKenna Park is open, we will have a potluck there afterwards.  There will be options for two different river sections, McKenna to Yelm class II-III, and Yelm to 6th Ave SE class I-II.  We are looking for trip leaders for the each stretch. Plan to meet at the Nisqually River Powerhouse Park Access Point to divide into groups and set shuttle.    14024 Yelm Hwy SE, Yelm, WA 98597 Please also Register in the Nisqually Cleanup Eventbrite Registration page.

Enjoy the warmth and non intimidating low water Wenatchee. This is contiguous with Kanufest so it is a convenient way to stretch your July 4th holiday on the way home. We will surf plenty. Bring extra water, sunscreen and a snack. Helpful to have a chair & libations to enjoy on the grass while awaiting shuttle at end of day; you’ll be exhausted. Contact Coordinator Mary if you wish to camp on concrete floor in the church basement, Cashmere. Contact: Mary Keppler Mskeppler@gmail.com

Our annual tidewater trip up McAllister Creek heading up on the flood tide and back on the ebb. We follow the edge of Puget Sound alongside the Billy Frank Wildlife Refuge, then up narrow McAllister through woodlands and then salt marsh. Expect to eat your picnic lunch in your boat as there are no good landing spots. Lots of nature, mostly calm water, possible challenges from downed trees, so trip leader will have his pruning saw handy.
