Lakes, Locks, and Lively Reception Cruise -- Let's Party!   
Saturday late afternoon / evening

Visitors watch as boats make the transition from the fresh water 
of Lake Washington and Lake Union to the salt water of Puget Sound 
through Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard, Seattle's Scandinavian 
neighborhood. 

Join us for the Shaping the Network Society "Lakes, Locks, and Lively 
Reception Cruise." Come cruise with your colleagues on a memorable 
passage from salt to fresh water through Seattle's famous Hiram 
Chittenden Locks and explore some of Seattle's most important 
waterfront landmarks. View Seattle's maritime heritage first hand. See 
the Alaska fishing fleet's home port at Fisherman's Terminal. Marvel 
at the unique "Sleepless in Seattle" floating houseboat community. 
Enjoy informative narration, lively conversation, warm hospitality, a 
delicious hors d'oeuvres buffet, and cash bar while experiencing 
fantastic city and mountain vistas from Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and 
Lake Union.

Our 3 hour Locks cruise, which will take place late afternoon 
Saturday, May 18, with boarding at approximately 4 p.m., departs from 
the Seattle Waterfront, rain or shine, and ends on Lake Union, a short 
shuttle ride from the heart of downtown.  The cost of this cruise is
