Seattle Chittenden Locks Fish Ladder Plaza

The public artwork at the Chittenden Locks (also called Ballard Locks) at Fish Ladder Plaza is fun and educational.  The waves run kind of like a wave rolling on the ocean.  Educational signs tell about the Pudget Sound and Salmon life cycle.

Directly below the plaza is a room with windows to watch the large salmon swim through the gates and work their way towards the Salmon Bay and Lake Union.  You can also watch boats go through the locks which is interesting.
