Seattle Great Wheel (Pier 57 Ferris wheel)

The Seattle Great Wheel is a 175-foot Ferris wheel sited on Pier 57 along the central waterfront, providing enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas for riders. It opened in 2012 and has become a prominent illuminated feature on the Elliott Bay shoreline visible from downtown. The attraction offers panoramic views of the city, harbor, and nearby mountain ranges and operates year-round with special-event bookings available.
