BOATING -- Starting this year, all Washington residents age 50 and under must complete an approved boating safety course in order to operate water craft of 15 horsepower or more.

The Spokane Sail and Power Squadron is teaching an 8-hour ABC 3 boating safety course that satisfies the requirements June 8-9 at Cabela’s in Post Falls.

Materials for the course can be picked up in advance in Spokane at West Marine, 5306 E Sprague Ave.
