Today we start a dive into a local point of interest here in Seattle: the Georgetown Steam Plant. Located on the southside of town, it is a large steam power electricity generation facility built to power the city trams.
Today also begins a new experiment. I am going to try using some text from ChatGPT interspersed in with my comments just for fun. I'm sure you'll be able to tell which is which since the computer will always write (and spell) better than me.
The Georgetown Steam Plant is a historic landmark located in Seattle, Washington that was built in 1906 to generate electricity for Seattle's electric streetcar system. It is now open to the public as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into Seattle's industrial past.
The Georgetown Steam Plant offers guided tours that provide visitors with a comprehensive overview of the plant's history, operations, and machinery. The tours last approximately 90 minutes and are led by knowledgeable docents who are passionate about the history of the plant.
I choose rather to just walk about and take photos instead of going on the tour. This means that I don't know much about what I took photos of.
The plant's most impressive feature is its 1906 Curtis steam turbine generator, which is the only operating Curtis turbine in the world. Visitors can see the massive machine in action during certain special events or demonstrations.
Of course, we did not get to see this in operation.
