Hiram M. Chittenden Locks

Seattle, USA

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks — places to visit in Seattle
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle — view 2
The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, commonly known as the Ballard Locks, are a complex of locks connecting Puget Sound with Lake Washington, built in the early 20th century. Visitors can observe the intricate mechanisms as boats are raised and lowered between these two bodies of water, alongside the beautiful gardens and fish ladder that showcases migrating salmon during spawning season. A stroll through the Ballard Locks is best enjoyed in the warmer months when the gardens are in full bloom and the fish ladder is active. Nearby, the historical Ballard Locks Park offers additional walking paths and picnic spots, making it a pleasant way to spend a few hours in the area.
