Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks

The sluice gate of Ballard Bridge is a place that attracts many people to see, no tickets are required, and the sea is out here, the scene is very beautiful, and the sluice gate has a history of more than 100 years.

This is an amazing experience - watching the boats (both big and small) traverse the locks. Still not sure how it all works, but it was an educational experience. Also has beautiful gardens and it''s all free. Great place to visit.

I loved coming here as a child. My grandmother used to live in an apartment not far from here, just a few minutes walk away. I would stop here every time I passed through the area as an adult. Watching the boats pass through the gates, you feel very calm inside, and it is also a very interesting process. In many cases, you can even see seals playing nearby. There is also a large and beautiful park with sidewalks. Kids love playing with summer salt under the hills here. On the other side of the gate you can go down and enjoy the fish ladder. In the right season it can be full of fish! Also, don't forget to visit museums and gift shops!

I used to see the operation of the sluice gate on the TV, but this time I saw it with my own eyes and it felt completely different. After reading it, I really want to read a book. In the end, humans are really smart and it is difficult to fail.

The sluice is one of Seattle's hottest free attractions, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has been around for nearly a hundred years. Locals and tourists visit the site frequently to see how boats sail through the floodgates across different water levels. Fish ladder (Fish ladder) is another popular attraction in this sluice park. Visitors can watch the eel jump up the fish ladder through the viewing window.
