About
Whatcom Rowing Association
“While at Bloedel, I accidentally wandered into the WRA boathouse, that’s all it took. I knew I wanted to be a part of everything I was seeing – the elegance of the shells, the allure of the water, the strength, focus, and energy!
– Mel Seu
It was in December of 2010 that a small group of interested people met at the local Avenue Bread to talk about organizing a community rowing program for Bellingham.
See how we have grown!
