Seattle One Way Locks Cruise

This 2-hour narrated cruise with Argosy Cruises gives you a chance to see Seattle from its waterways. You’ll depart from either Pier 54 (Elliott Bay) or AGC Marina (Lake Union), and end at the other marina - because it’s a one-way trip. Along the way, you’ll pass under historic bridges, float past houseboats and seaplanes, and cruise through the Hiram M. Chittenden (Ballard) Locks - the “boat elevator” that transitions vessels between salt and fresh water. The live guide shares stories of maritime history, local neighborhoods, and views of the Olympic Mountains, Space Needle, and the city skyline. With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a bar and snack options onboard, the journey balances activity and relaxation - good for reflection, conversation, and enjoying Seattle’s natural and urban beauty.
