Visitors to the Ballard Locks in Seattle can watch salmon as they climb the fish ladder. The best time to visit is during spawning season, from late June to mid-August.

A tradition dating back to... 2004, has now reached Brooklyn by way of Italy. That year a movie called Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo (based on a 1992 novel by Federico Moccia) hit the big screen and included a scene where a couple secured their love (via a lock) to a bridge, and then tossed the keys into the river below. In Italy this has plagued the Ponte Milvio, and now it seems to have made its way over to the Brooklyn Bridge.

According to the Brooklyn Paper there are quite a few signs of the tradition secured to the bridge—as well as benches, supports and pillars—dating back to 2007 (see for yourselves). The locks (which include names and a date) are illegal, as is fastening anything to the bridge, but I wonder if the law is enforced?

06/08/2014: The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (aka: the Ballard Locks) in the Ballard section of Seattle, WA.

These locks are locked in place over the Seine by couples who want to symbolize their love here. Of course, at the bottom of the bridge, you can buy a lock. We didn't, because as Steve said, "We already have locks."

Romney locks, dyed with Easter Egg dyes. None of the pictures I took of this captured the gorgeous blues and purples. I'm so dissapointed.
