The Ballard Locks

People always ask "don't you get tired of the rain in Seattle?" - they have never been here in the Summer.  It is g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s here in the summer.  Don't tell anyone.  It's a secret.
The Ballard locks have an attractive garden beside them and are interesting for engineers as well.  Yesterday was really nice and the boats were lined up to go in and out of Lake Union.  The silver salmon are running now and you can see them from the observation window at the fish ladder that runs beside the locks.  They are catching them below my house also.  Kings are running too.
