Does anyone know if there is a second ferris wheel just south of the Seattle Great Wheel in Downtown Seattle, because I saw a picture the other day, but have not been able to find any information about that ferris wheel online? Does anyone know if there has ever been a second ferris wheel in Seattle just south of the Seattle Great Wheel since the Great Wheel was built in 2012?

I cannot recall or remember another Farris Wheel other than the Great Farris Wheel there now.
Unless it was a small one like at a county fair that was put up for a special occasion? Not sure about that thou.

I drove by there every weekday twice in 2019 and until late February 2020 and never saw a 2nd one. Pier 62 was open as a park and could have had a smaller one for an event, but it's north of the Big Wheel at Piet 57.

The picture I saw showed one that was similar or slightly larger in size than the Seattle Great Wheel, just south of Pier 57.

A quick internet search shows no 2nd wheel in Seattle. Not sure what you are referring to here.

Now that's pretty funny.

OP, if you're not familiar with Seattle it would be easy to be fooled by that pic. Which begs the question about the photo - WHY?

I have been watching Grey's Anatomy and they use a lot of stock film of Seattle. I noticed the big Ferris wheel. How long has it been there? it's been quite a number of years since I visited Seattle. Where exactly is it located. They also feature the ferries quite often. Seeing that skyline makes me miss living up there.

Click on the picture and read the caption in the new window. They're more confused than just seeing double.
