Seattle (Part 2)

The Space Needle was built for the World's Fair in 1962. My dad went to the top in 1982 and now me in 2014.

It is 605 feet tall, but only the 6th tallest structure in Seattle.

The Chittenden Locks connect the salt water of the Puget Sound and the fresh water of Lake Union and Lake Washington.

Special tubes and channels (the "ladder") were constructed into the lock to allow spawning Salmon to pass from the Pacific Ocean to fresh water rivers inland.
