Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding The Wedgwood Rock with additional information or photos.
The irresistible force of glacial drift gave way to inertia some 14,000 years ago, leaving this 700-ton sample of gneiss as a testament to the Ice Age that blanketed the Puget Sound area.
One of six large erratics found in the Puget Sound, the Wedgwood Rock has a history as a picnic destination. Approximately 19 feet at its tallest, this rock should pose no challenge for an intrepid mountaineer.
