I didn't take these photos today - they're from yesterday, after the Space needle we went to the Ballard Locks and Fish Ladder. The Chum salmon are returning to their rivers-of-birth to spawn, and they have to pass through the fish ladders around the dam.
They have wonderful viewing windows where we could see the salmon going through one of the steps of the ladder.
Here they're jumping for joy after making it up the whole ladder, going from the salt water to the fresh. They still have a journey ahead of them, swimming across Lake Washington and up their river to the spawnig grounds. Good Luck!
