There are three things to see here and two of which I like the best and they can be found together in one spot.

One of the things that I love to see in the place are their gardens. Too bad I ran out of batteries to get more pictures of their plants:

And this one's for Benny, the favorite thing that I really enjoy looking at, and all can be found in one place. The Chinooks were on their way swimming the fish ladders of the locks and there were fiberglass windows down below to view the fish ladders from their sides.

These salmon are extra large! Probably 30 lbs on the average of the batch that went through that day.

One other thing which is the main item about this place is a miniature version of Panama Canal. The locks here separates Puget Sound from Salmon Bay.
