The Hiram M Chittenden Locks, also known as the Ballard Locks, is a popular attraction located in the city of Seattle. This engineering marvel is a complex system of locks that connect the saltwater of Puget Sound with the freshwater of Lake Union and Lake Washington. The locks were built in 1917 and named after Hiram M Chittenden, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officer who played a key role in their construction.
The locks consist of two large chambers that can raise and lower boats up to 26 feet between the two bodies of water. Visitors can watch as boats of all sizes pass through the locks, from small pleasure craft to large commercial vessels. The locks also feature a fish ladder, which allows salmon and other fish to swim upstream to their spawning grounds in Lake Washington.
In addition to the locks themselves, the surrounding area is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Gardens are located adjacent to the locks and feature a variety of plants and flowers, as well as a fish pond and waterfall. The locks also offer stunning views of the surrounding waterways and the nearby Olympic Mountains.
Overall, the Hiram M Chittenden Locks are a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Seattle. Whether you're interested in engineering, marine life, or simply want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the locks offer something for everyone.
