The salmon runs are mostly over for the year, but one can still see a Coho or two making their way from Puget Sound up the fish ladder at the Hiram M. Chittanden locks and into the fresh water that leads to Lake Washington and the spawning grounds beyond. Above the fish ladder they will pass Salmon Waves, an aluminum sculpture by Paul Sorrey. The description provided for the sculpture says the waves evoke elements found in nature while their construction "reflects the nuts-and-bolts functionality and engineering precision of the Locks structure."
