Chittenden Locks, or “Ballard Locks”, is a complex of locks that were built in 1917 to create a barrier and passage way between the Puget Sound (salt water) and the fresh water lakes in the area. The locks allow boats to travel back and forth between the bodies of water, as well as keeps the two types of water from mixing. Once in the lock, the water level drops as much as 26 feet to bring the boats even with Puget Sound. The Ballard Locks carry more boat traffic than any other lock in the US. The Ballard Locks is a great place to spend part of the day, see a part of Seattle history, and watch Mother Nature at its best. Admission is free. Fish Ladder The locks are a critical link for salmon and steelhead heading upstream to spawn. The fish ladder at the Chittenden locks is unique in being located where salt and fresh water meet. Normally, fish ladders are located entirely within fresh water. The fish approaching the ladder smell the attraction water, recognizing the scent of Lake Washington and its tributaries. They enter the ladder, and either jump over each of the 21 weirs or swim though tunnel-like openings. They exit the ladder into the fresh water of Salmon Bay. They continue following the waterway to the lake, river, or stream where they were born. Admission is free. Burke Art Museum of natural History and Culture http://www.burkemuseum.org/ Established in 1899 as the Washington State Museum, it traces its origins to a high school naturalist club formed in 1879. The museum is the oldest natural history museum west of the Mississippi River and boasts a collection of more than 16 million artifacts, including the world's largest collection of spread bird wings. Located on the campus of the University of Washington, the Burke Museum is the official state museum of Washington.

The eight galleries and three Drawing Walls offer a comprehensive collection of Dale Chihuly’s significant series of work. The artworks demonstrate how he pushed the boundaries of glass as an art medium in concept, execution and presentation. The installation inside of the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture and is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. Columbia Tower Observation Deck (Sky View Observatory) http://www.skyviewobservatory.com/ The Sky View Observatory is located on the 73rd floor of Columbia Center.

Frye Art Museum http://fryemuseum.org/ The Frye Art Museum emphasizes painting and sculpture from the nineteenth century to the present. Its holdings originate in the private collection of Charles (1858–1940) and Emma Frye. Charles, owner of a local meatpacking plant, set aside money in his will for a museum to house the Fryes' collection of over 230 paintings. The Frye Museum opened to the public in 1952, and was Seattle's first free art museum. It is still free today! Local Jazz Clubs http://www.seattle.com/jazz Seattleites are serious about their jazz clubs, and the city has some seriously noteworthy live venues worth getting excited about. Jazz Alley, just blocks from Downtown and the waterfront, features an intimate setting, world-class jazz and delicious food. Bandoleone offers a different vibe, with Latin Jazz played after dinner along with some of Seattle's best margaritas. Since most of Seattle's jazz clubs double as restaurants, these are some of the best date destinations around. Tula's Restaurant & Jazz Club, in addition to booking some of the best jazz musicians in the country, is known for its extensive bar and excellent Northwest cuisine. Seattle jazz clubs are some of the best that the Northwest has to offer! Check the web site for full details and current shows.

It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal. The peninsula is anchored by the majestic Olympic Mountains. No other place in America can match its diversity in terrain and weather in such a compact geographic area. So come visit and explore our lakes, waterfalls, rivers, mountains, beaches and rain forest.

  • The Artists' View of Seattle
    WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.

[email protected] Born: Roswell, N.M. 1945 A freelance artist since 1974, I’m self-taught and completely self-supporting through private commissions, shows and galleries. My sculptural work stems from ideas or phrases, usually involving social or political observation. The excitement comes in selecting the right materials to fit the idea: maybe concrete, household objects, plastic, shredded newspaper, coffee beans – whatever will express my story in a clever way. I often use animal shapes. I sometimes combine a sober idea with humor for impact. I also have a long history of working in five dimensions: the usual three plus working with large groups of artists and presenting performance in real time, involving ideas, costumes, props, music, lights, and spoken word.

  • Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three

  • Activities and Attractions
    ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are coming and going across Elliott Bay. It's a summer day, and the sun is shining. It just doesn't get much better than this unless, of course, you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30pm summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see panorama is, of course, the view from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern but still it's hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. You can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetson’s to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seattle's latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. EMP is the brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who built this rock 'n' roll cathedral to house his vast collection of Northwest rock memorabilia.
