Bike Commuting in Seattle

Ryan and I have been enjoying a fairly quick bike commute to our offices. The route we take includes using the Ballard Locks to cross a canal. On one side of the Locks is the salt water of Puget Sound and on the other side, freshwater. Nearly every morning, we see a beautiful blue heron scoping for breakfast near the fish ladder. It's also common to see a harbor seal feeding on fish and lazily swimming at the entrance of the fish ladder.

I thought you all might want to see what our commute is like:



A bike's eye view of the commute.

Gravel barge in the locks.


Walking through the gardens on our way to the street.


The locks have a fish ladder to help migrating salmon make their way upstream.
