Have you put up a lock on the bridge to the Seattle Ferry Terminal? We’d like to know

The Seattle Times wants to hear the stories of anyone who has placed a “love padlock” on the pedestrian bridge headed in and out of the Seattle Ferry Terminal in downtown Seattle.

Similar to the popular “love lock” bridges found in European cities, a significant amount of padlocks hang from a small chain-link fence railing on the bridge, right in front of The Forge Lounge bar along Marion Street. We’re interested in learning why those locks are there, and why people see the ferries as places of romantic connection.
