Go Strollers !!

[March in Seattle] Ballard Locks (Hiram M. Chittenden Locks)

  • Distance and Travel Time (from downtown Seattle): 6.3 miles (19 min)
  • Trip Type: Outing
  • Parking
    Parking lot (paid) on 54th St in front of the Ballard Locks
  • When to Go
    Any time of year (in June ~ Oct you can see lots of salmon)
  • Things to Do
    Stroll around the locks, see fish and seals, watch how the locks work, watch boats going from Lake Union to the Puget Sound and vice versa, enjoy seasonal blooms in the garden, play on the grassy hill, etc.
  • Tips
    1) There is a grassy hill next to the locks in the Carl S English Botanical Garden where kids love to run up and down. It is a good way to burn off some energy.
    2) Prepare some cash for parking in case the lot is full and you need to park in a cash only parking zone.
    3) Visiting Golden Gardens Park and/or Green Lake Park (both nearby) in one day is also a good option.
