Will you be taking the Seattle Great Wheel for a spin this weekend? The downtown waterfront's new attraction is scheduled to open to the public late Friday afternoon. Rides cost $13, with discounts for children, seniors and military members. Join others in Seattle who are already sharing photos on Instagram with the hashtag #greatwheel.
