iParaglide Right Site Ranking:
1. Paragliding Seattle: advanced peak lapse rate -2.9 C/1000ft. Tiger Mountain for P2 pilots 0800-1200 with high lapse rate thereafter. P4 pilots 1200-1600, watch for strong spring conditions and possible E winds aloft late in the day making rough conditions and shutting things down. Chances to paraglide 70% pre 1200, 40% late.
2. Paragliding Bellingham: advanced peak lapse rate -2.8 C/1000ft. Blanchard for P2 pilots 0900-1300 then watch for increasing lapse rate and P4 conditions during peak 1300-1700 with possible east wind aloft thereafter. Although Bellingham is calling for cloudy with a chance of showers, Blanchard often has a blue hole when other areas do not. Unfortunately Bellingham Bay webcam is down so condition can't be verified. Paragliding prospects 50%.
Paragliding is not recommended today in Vancouver Chilliwack or Pemberton.
