Chittenden Locks Eric and Sylvia visit the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle. | ||
 |  | |
| The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks lead from Lake Union out to Puget Sound. Here's a map of the area: | These huge pistons open and close the locks. | |
 |  | |
| Boats heading into the lock. | Aligning themselves... | |
 |  | |
| Now the gates are closing | And the boats are rising as water is let in | |
 |  | |
| The salmon ladders, unfortunately, were out of commision when we visited. | Another set of boats heading through. | |
