Place to see: Chittenden Locks, Seattle, Washington, United States
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
Built in 1917, the Ballard locks connect Lake Washington to the Puget Sound, via Lake Union. Much of the Alaskan fishing fleet can be seen here in the offseason.
About this place:
These locks provide passage for boats transiting between Puget Sound and the fresh water estuary of Seattle's Lake Washington. In the autumn the lock's adjacent ladders fill with migrating salmon that are swimming in from the ocean to their headwaters to spawn.
