In what may be a first, the Seattle Engineer District is hosting a 5K Fun Run, October 7 at 10 a.m., to launch the large lock center miter gate replacement project at the Hiram M. Chitten-den Locks. The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, or Ballard Locks, is a complex of locks at the west end of Salmon Bay in Seattle's Lake Washington Ship Canal, between the neighborhoods of Ballard to the north and Magnolia to the south. Participants in the Great Miter Retire Fun Run will have the chance to walk along the structures one last time during the event that starts and ends at the miter gates. Participants will have the opportunity to take photos at the gates before and after they run (or walk), view the engineering exhibits and visit the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden and the Visitor Center throughout the day. |
