	Hiram M. Chittenden Locks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks are a complex of locks that sit in the middle of Salmon Bay, part of Seattle, United States's Lake Washington Ship Canal.
		Having two locks also allows one of the locks to be drained for maintenance without blocking all boat traffic (pictures of the drained large lock are located in the Canal lock article).
		They were named after U.S. Army Major Hiram Martin Chittenden, the Seattle District Engineer for the Corps of Engineers from April 1906 to September 1908.

	Hiram M. Chittenden Locks \| Museum/Attraction Review \| Seattle \| Frommers.com
		Locks don't provide panoramic views and aren't nearly as dramatic as waterfalls, but for some strange reason, a lot of people are intrigued by the concept of two side-by-side bodies of water on two different levels.
		Consequently, the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in the Ballard neighborhood are among the most popular attractions in the city.
		When the gates of the lock are closed, it's possible to continue to the far side of the ship canal to the fish ladders and fish-viewing windows that provide opportunities for salmon viewing during the summer months.

		The purpose of the locks is to raise or lower vessels 6 to 26 feet (depending on tide and lake level) to compensate for the difference between the levels of Lake Washington and Puget Sound.
		The locks operate 24 hours a day year-round except for November, when the large lock is drawn down and inspected, and March, when the same thing occurs in the small lock.
		You'll get a good overview of the history and see some of the unusual "vessels" that have locked through -- a submarine, a gray whale, the Kalakala (last month), a damaged WWII-era B-29 bomber and a dry dock so wide that it had to be tipped at a 45-degree angle to get it through.

	Seattle’s Rain City Real Estate Guide » Ballard Treasure: Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
		The Ballard locks opened in 1916 and were built to raise or lower vessels 6 to 26 feet (depending on tide and lake level) to compensate for the difference between the levels of Lake Washington and Puget Sound.
		Back when the locks were first designed and built, Ballard was a major economic center with a substantial portion of Seattle’s fishing and freight traffic passing through this area.
		From the locks it is just a short walk along a spillway to get to the “fish ladder” that allows fish to bypass the locks and get to their natual habitat on Lake Washington and beyond.
