Seattle Great Wheel on Pier 57

The Seattle Great Wheel is a 175-foot Ferris wheel located on Pier 57 at the downtown waterfront. It opened to the public in 2012 and features 42 enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas used year-round. Riders can see Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, and large portions of the Seattle skyline on clear days. The wheel is a privately operated attraction that anchors the Pier 57 waterfront experience.
