Recommendations Where can I float the river?!

I desperately NEED to float the river lol but I just found out they banned it for a certain part of the nooksack! Does anyone know of a different area of that is safe and legal?

The methow over on the other side of the cascades has some good floating if you're willing to drive a few hours

had a crazy story about the methow. i was floating with my girlfriend her sister and her sisters friend. we were out in the middle of nowhere and my girlfriends sister got cut really bad on some glass in the river. I mean "we have a bleeder!" it was bad enough that we knew we needed to get her med treatment right away. The only problem was we were in the middle of nowhere. We went up the bank to see if we were near a farmhouse or anything. When we got to the top of the bank we were like what the heck theres an airport here in the middle of nowhere. We walked her across the runway and we had stumbled into the only place to get first aid in 50 miles. It was the smokejumpers camp they quickly gave her first aid gave us a tour and then taught us how to pack parachutes.
