Breathtakingly beautiful despite the smoke from wildfires.

This is a wonderful space that features restaurants, a carousel, and a beautiful view of Puget Sound. I loved all the intriguing artifacts that decorate the walls; they transported me to a different era.

I visited this spot with my two kids after exploring Pike Place Market, and it's conveniently located just a short walk away, which was great. The pier itself is stunning—clean and full of activities. Outside, there's a Ferris Wheel (the Great Wheel) to ride, along with other attractions like a boat tour and Wings Over Washington. Inside, you can find arcades, ice cream, a vintage carousel, shops, snacks, and a restaurant. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM, and unfortunately, most of the indoor activities were closed, except for the ice cream shop and a few stores in the arcade. We ended up sitting on the pier, enjoying the water and people-watching for a while. This pier is definitely worth a visit, and I’d love to come back when everything is open again!
