We tried to do that with the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, but it didn't work out so well, too much silt.

Victoria BC is a beautiful city and a great starting off point. Another option is, South Puget Sound, Olympia, is only 90 minutes from Portland and has nice marinas.

Even if you don't want to make the trip yourself, you can always hire a skipper or enlist an experienced crew to assist you. Any body of water can blow up, it's all about timing, monitoring conditions and a little local knowledge, really not as bad as it sounds.
