Streetcars operate daily, with extended hours in summer.
The waterfront side of the pier has an excellent interpretive display of this harbor's history, and periscopes offer grand seaward views. At Pier 54 are a couple of Seattle's most endearing landmarks. The things we really do well with are those that you see and really fall in love with, or those that you look at and you think you wouldn't buy in a thousand years. Waterfront Park , at Pier 57, offers boardwalks and elevated levels to give visitors a fine perspective both on Elliott Bay and on the Seattle cityscape. Adjacent to the park is a plaque that recalls the gold rush's beginning here in 1897, when the steamer Portland arrived at the former Pier 58 with the first news that gold had been discovered in the Klondike.
