Hiram M. Chittenden (Ballard) Locks salmon videos

The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Ballard Locks) connect Puget Sound to Lake Union and include a salmon fish ladder used during annual salmon runs. Footage and livestreams of salmon navigating the fish ladder and boats passing through the locks are frequently recorded and shared online, producing many widely viewed videos and wildlife-watching posts. The site is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is a documented public attraction for viewing migrating fish.
