The locks is one of my favorite places in Seattle. Walk through a botanical garden to reach the water and watch ships and boats go through! Also home to the seasonal fish ladder.

A very short walk from the house, we love this place for picking up a quick bottle of wine or quart of milk. They make great sandwiches (including for breakfast) and have a small selection of deli items for takeaway like meatloaf and desserts.
