Great locks and salmon ladder. Lots of Seals around too.
There was an underwater salmon viewing area and lots of info on the salmon run etc. Well worth a visit

We’d seen the major tourist spots in Seattle and wanted to do something different. I’d read about the locks, we’d decided to have a look and ended up staying for almost two hours . The grounds are beautiful and the locks were very interesting to watch, we were lucky to see all sizes of boats and ships going through . The salmon jump was neat too with people cheering every time a salmon made the jump to the next level lol. Altogether we had a good time and I can totally recommend it for a change of scenery.

Stop first at the Army Corp of Engineers visitor Center. The proceed to the large boat lock. While we were there there was a large coast guard cutter returning with tugs on each end. Watching the locks fill and open and close is a clear picture of how the locks work.
Proceed to the small boat lock- interesting to watch because at busy times they load up to ten or so boats in the lock before the transition.
Then cross the "dam" and watch for sea lions on the ocean side trying to chow down and when to get to the other side you can see the fish ladder where large salmon are swimming and jumping up the ladder to get into the lakes

Fascinating. We went on the free tour which initially started a little dry and ended up as one of the highlights of our stay in Seattle. Very informative about salmon and how the area fits in their life cycle. Our guide was excellent. The locks are huge and spectacular. It doesn’t sound great but it’s a wonderful afternoon. Allow plenty of time.

Definitely add this stop to your trip to Seattle. We saw harbor seals, salmon, heron, and what appeared to be blue heron nests. We also watched a few boats go through the locks. We are two adults and we loved it! I would definitely bring a family and kids.

I walked around these locks for about fifteen (15) minutes. There was free street parking nearby this free attraction. I saw some fish in an underwater chamber, I viewed a man who caught a salmon, and I witnessed some boats and some kayakers go through the locks.

Sometimes it's the attractions you don't hear about that become highlights of a trip. The Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks are a fine example. We were wandering the Ballard area and headed to the locks. Watching the boats go through the locks is absolutely addictive and fascinating. While you're there, also check out the botanical gardens and the salmon ladder.
Definitely worth a bus ride out to Ballard for this.

Loved it- very interesting and great view of downtown. On time, decent drinks offered, knowledgeable narrator/guide. It was rainy- dress in layers!

We took a one way tour from Ellliott Bay to Union lake. We went through the locks at the same time the wizard from the tv show deadliest catch was coming in for the season. It was really neat to be able to see

This was a short walk from our AirBnB, and was a nice visit on a sunny day. The salmon were still running, so it was fun to see the salmon ladder and hear about how it works.
Watching the boats come in and out of the locks was impressive. There is also a small gift shop with a museum that had some interesting artifacts.

Duly noted your comment on dirty windows in fish ladder viewing room. We are very short handed and under funded and cleaning the windows is both dangerous and very labor intensive (takes 2 people). They were just cleaned on Mar 15th...see Facebook post, so you can tell how quickly they get dirty. There are no salmon this time of year, so that along with lack of staff, means window don't get cleaned as often as one would like.
Sorry this left a bad impression, but we are fully aware of what needs to be done at this 100+ year old facility and are doing our best to keep it operating with limited funds. On the plus side, the fish ladder room will be closed for some major renovations (using privately raised funds)...stay tuned for details.

Check out the website and social media links at bottom of site for detailed information. There is a Questions tab which will answer most everything. The salmon season is short, from June through Sept. There is a YouTube video, linked off the website updated seasonally, that give you more information. Be sure to schedule a tour (free) to get the most out of your visit...always something going on.

Jeff C:
Sorry you didn't enjoy your visit. Seeing Salmon can be iffy, even during peak season, they may have been waiting for high tide to move into the viewing room. Maybe you expected a circus act that performs on schedule?
كُتب بتاريخ 11 سبتمبر 2016
What's the question?
Jeff C."s response to Pamela M was rather snotty. Whatever the question or comments made by Pamela M., Jeff C. owed her more respect than his comment suggested.
Jeff...you don't know everything about the Chittenden Locks. I'm sure you have glaring areas of ignorance about the Locks and other Seattle attractions.

I am planning a visit to the locks on a Friday. Is there a better/best time of day to see the happenings with boats and fish?
كُتب بتاريخ 28 أغسطس 2016
Mid day to late for pleasure boat traffic. Salmon at high tide, you'll have to check tide tables. Commercial boats, pretty much pot luck... Recommend tours

To be clear, the parking meters and ticket enforcement was added by the City of Seattle for the sole purpose of making money for the City of Seattle...no funds go to the Locks and it amounts to around $250K/yr...not a trivial amount. To top it off they also took away half the spaces...a real sore point

Try parking on the Magnolia side and walking to the locks from there. There is a nice view that overlooks the locks from that direction. While in Magnolia, there is Discovery Park and the Daybreak Star Center to visit.

How long should we plan to get the most out of our day at the locks?
كُتب بتاريخ 20 يوليو 2016
Highly recommend the 1 hour tour to get the most out of your visit. Lot of history here, so drop in the visitor center and see a couple films if you have time. Check their website for more info ballardlocks org.

From the Locks Q&A: Free parking is available in the neighborhoods on both the North and South side of the Locks. 2 hr. Paid parking is available at the North main entrance gate. This is a City of Seattle parking lot and is tightly patrolled. All fees and fines collected go to the City of Seattle not the Locks. Sunday parking is free but can be crowded.
For transit - it looks like bus 17 does the trick!
The City of Seattle has an efficient bus system with a Metro "Trip Planner" app that works well. You can even bike from downtown on a 12 mile route.

I see that you enjoyed your visit but only rated it as 3 stars. What would have made this visit 5 stars? We are looking to improve the visitor experience to a world class level and are open to any suggestions.
كُتب بتاريخ 19 مايو 2016
I do love visiting the locks but was thinking about it in terms of other landmarks in the Seattle area. Definately needs improvement for parking, it's a nightmare on weekends, better areas for inclement weather, also the gift store and educational area could use some updating. It is still a wonderful experience and we always put it at the top of our list for out of town visitors.

Have you seen the new movie system in the visitor center? You can now chose from a number of interesting videos....great way to pass some slack time on a winter day.
