We started at Lake Washington Ship Canal/The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, located in Ballard.
Built-in 1911, it is nicknamed the Ballard Locks.
It provides a link for boats between the saltwater of Puget Sound and the fresh water of the Ship Canal, which connects Lake Union and Lake Washington.
The Fish Ladder was built to allow salmon to pass between fresh and saltwater and to navigate the locks. The glass panels below the waterline make it possible to watch the fish as they swim through the ladder.
Pike Place Market is Seattle's first farmers market overlooking Elliott Bay.
