Golden Garden Park and Hiram M. Chittenden Locks

**Golden Garden Park**

I can't wait to come here when it's warmer

**The Locks**

The gardens on the walk down to the Locks were beautiful and smelled like Jasmine

Draw Bridge

Below is one of the Locks, after a boat goes into the front chamber, the doors will close and it fills up with water. This picture is taken looking towards Lake Union...

Large spillway- this is Lake Union going into the Sound. 

Here comes a boat! 

and the water begins to rise.. This boat was actually a guided tour of the Locks so we could hear what the tour guide was saying

This is the underwater observation room for the Fish Ladder. The Fish Ladder is where the fish can swim through, especially the Salmon who must cross into salt water to lay their eggs and then come back up stream. It's not mating (er whatever) season right now so there are not too many fish yet. 

This little restaurant is called the Lock Stop and is right beside the Locks. Everyone says they have the best Fish & Chips and we have wanted to go there for a few weeks.  

Hot Clam Chowder on a cold day! Yum!
