Georgetown Steam Plant - II


In addition to the turbine generator, visitors can see a variety of other historic equipment, including generators, pumps, boilers, and control panels. The plant also has a small exhibit that showcases the tools and equipment used by the plant's workers.
Mostly what you will see here are photos of the generators, pumps, boilers, and control panels. And lots of really big pipes and tanks.


The Georgetown Steam Plant is an impressive example of early 20th-century industrial architecture. Visitors can marvel at the massive brick walls, towering smokestacks, and intricate machinery that make up the plant.

I, of course, managed to find a box of lightbulbs to photograph.


The Georgetown Steam Plant hosts a variety of events and exhibits throughout the year. These events range from art shows and concerts to historical exhibits and educational programs.

It is a little hard for me to imagine a fancy dress event in this large dirty place filled with machinery and plumbing.


The Georgetown Steam Plant is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in the history of industry and technology. With its impressive machinery, historic equipment, and beautiful industrial architecture, it offers a unique glimpse into Seattle's past.

Naturally, we all need to see what is apparently a stairway to nowhere.
