One of the most popular visitor destinations in Seattle - The Ballard Locks. For nearly a hundred years these Ballard Locks have carried boats between the saltwater of Puget Sound and the fresh water of Lake Washington. And it also provides a fish ladder for salmon to climb as they return from their stay in the Pacific Ocean. With a bit of luck you'll see big boats transit the locks and big salmon climb the ladder. This tour begins at 3005 NW 54th in Seattle's Ballard community (several miles north of Downtown Seattle). The Locks include picnic areas and botanical gardens. Tour length: 40 minutes.
