this is a lovely place to walk. There is a beautiful park nearby. There wasn't any traffic through the locks, it was Easter Sunday. We did go into the visitor center. It wasn't salmon season either.Full review by fozjon

This is a unique spot worth a visit if you are in the Seattle area. The bridge across the lock provides an interesting view of the workings of the locks.Full review by luv4phood

Great locks and salmon ladder. Lots of Seals around too. There was an underwater salmon viewing area and lots of info on the salmon run etc. Well worth a visitFull review by jamieba32
