According to a news article and video on King5.com, the Seattle waterfront might be getting a ferris wheel soon. The owner of Pier 57 has applied for a permit for a 175-foot tall ferris wheel. There is currently an arcade with an old-style merry-go-round on the pier. The Alaskan Way Viaduct will eventually be torn down with a tunnel being built and the waterfront will be revitalized in the next few years. A ferris wheel would be an interesting addition to the touristy area of the city. I'm not sure how much I like it being part of the already beautiful skyline, but I suppose I could get used to it.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

The part north of Pike Place Market? A ferris wheel might be good there, but yeah, the view of the skyline from the water or from the Alki area might suffer a bit.
Yeah, it would be on the waterfront, like where the aquarium is, which is actually west of Pike Place Market. The more I think about it, the more I don't think I like the idea.
