Hello paddle people! I live in PDX and have not yet explored the Seattle area. Thinking of coming up this spring for a tour of the class III and IV of the region--maybe a taste of V or I might walk it. Anyway my question has to do with the odds of good flows in the springtime. I realize that we don't even know yet if the La Nina pattern will continue into the spring. What's the optimal time in spring for a planned trip up there, knowing full well that the rains come when they come and I could miss? Thanks.   

Way too lazy for all that much research.    What runs SHOULD I target? What runs do you know well and are willing to show folks down?? Noted: May is potentially a good time.

May is a good time on the Wenatchee generally. You can playboat and creek within 15 minutes of each other. Cheap / free camping and easy logistics. It's a lot further than Seattle, but a trip to the Lochsa in May can be really fun.

sh*t can also go nuclear in may, which is great if you like Big Water otherwise some paddlers might end up finding themselves restricted to the play run in der Town.
