Whatcom Rowing Association is a community organization providing youth and adults the skills, joys, fitness, camaraderie, and teamwork the sport and recreation of rowing uniquely offers.
Whatcom Rowing Association (WRA) is a nonprofit community-based rowing club that has served Whatcom County since 2011. We are dedicated to offering individuals of all ages the opportunity to learn the sport of rowing in a safe, fun, and beautiful environment. WRA offers a variety of programs for all ages and experience levels. We believe the positive attributes of rowing are tangible across a lifespan and we are passionate about providing access to all. Whether you have previous experience or have never touched an oar we have something for you.

You will find us in the Robert C. Diehl Boathouse within Bloedel Donovan Park, on the glassy waters of Lake Whatcom, in beautiful Bellingham, Washington.
Safety
The Whatcom Rowing Association is a SafeSport boathouse. SafeSport aims to eliminate any form of sexual misconduct, emotional misconduct, physical misconduct, bullying, harassment and hazing in our sport.
As a member of USRowing, WRA is committed to improving the development and safety of athletes and participants involved in rowing. In an effort to prevent the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of athletes, the SafeSport Act requires national governing bodies and Paralympic sports organizations to implement both prevention training and prevention policies.
