We arrived just in time to see pleasure boats rise to the occasion. The official name is Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, but is known locally as the Ballard Locks after the neighborhood to the north. The locks can elevate a 760-foot by 80-foot wide vessel 26 feet, from the level of Puget Sound at a very low tide to the level of freshwater Salmon Bay, in 10--15 minutes. The locks handle both pleasure boats and commercial vessels, ranging from kayaks to fishing boats returning from the Bering Sea to cargo ships. Over 1 million tons of cargo, fuel, building materials, and seafood products pass through the locks each year.
