In honor of the Ballard Locks centennial, Seattle Channel released this hour-long piece on the history of the Locks, and the monumental effort it took to build it.
Produced by Vaun Raymond and narrated by Seattle historians Paul Dorpat, Jennifer Ott, David Williams and others, the documentary tells the story of both the Locks and the Lake Washington Ship Canal, to commemorate their centennial.
