Afternoon Ferry trip to Seattle’s Great Wheel

We had a great time taking an afternoon and cruising over to Seattle via the Bainbridge Ferry and walking down to Seattle’s Great Wheel to take it for a spin or should I say it took us for a spin.

The Ferris Wheel has glass enclosed gondolas that are climate controlled.  The view is spectacular and if the wheel stops while you are at the top, there is plenty of time to enjoy the Seattle Skyline and the views of the Puget Sound.

Sit back relax and enjoy the video of our trip.  Then get out there and ride the Great Wheel of Seattle!
