Ballard Locks Tour Recap
Hi Everyone!
 
Several University of Washington and Seattle University Civil Engineering students had the opportunity of a lifetime taking a tour in the Ballard Locks last November! A big thank you to Dana Dysart, PE and the Army Corps of Engineers for offering a unique tour of the dewatered large lock and giving a glimpse into the projects the Army Corps of Engineers work on.
