The Georgetown Steam Plant was built in 1906 to provide power for Seattle's streetcars, the city of Georgetown, and the Seattle-Tacoma Railway. Although it's turbines were state-of-the art for their time, technology was advancing so quickly that the plant became outdated within a decade. It was soon relegated to secondary status and was used occasionally through the 1970s during droughts and to meet peak power demand.

Today, the nearly-complete plant is operated as a free museum and is open to the public the second Saturday of every month from 10am-2pm.

"It’s amazing! Clearly been recently renovated and it’s beautiful. It’s so comfy and cozy, I almost didn’t want to leave. And the area around is so walkable and great to explore."

The Belltown Inn

5/5 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Lobby and rooms were well maintained. Good quality bed. EXCELLENT A/C. The rooftop lounge was a great place to relax in the evening. Water and coffee offered in the lobby everyday. Great location if you have plans downtown and a ton of great restaurants and cafes within 5 min walk. "
