Really beautiful museum to learn about some Seattle history. I went to a show called Corridor presented by Elevator. It featured projection mapped visuals, sound, and dance/movement. Hopefully Seattle does more community art shows like this, it was great!

This place is fantastic! They are only open once a month but offer free tours. Very interesting learning about the history of the area and the steam plant itself.

Very educational tour. Check it out for sureeeee

It only opens to public for 4 hours a month (second Saturday of every month from 10:00am to 2:00pm) so come early. The main tour is more for general audience/tourism. If you are into powerplants, talk to knowledgeable volunteers who worked there.I found some inconsiderate wannabe photographers to be quite annoying. They should be required to pay for a permit and shoot during non-public tour hours.

Go on Saturday (once a month) and see the original equipment and take some really cool photos. You are on your own to explore but volunteers are on hand to answer questions.

Cool bit of Seattle history.

OK, so this would not be on everyones must see list - it is, after all, a cavernous old power plant. But if youre into old tech or youre a photographer, it does have its creepy and mysterious charms. They open up the old plant once a month, and believe it or not its a pretty popular event. You can think of old Soviet-era machinery and spooky dark corridors. I went with some friends to do photo work there and it was pretty cool... Kind of a time-capsule feel to it, with some of it looking like they are just waiting to pull a giant switch and everything would be humming again (can you smell the ozone?).

Unique industrial setting.

National Historic site in in operational romantic rusty preserved order. Rare bit of our early industrial energy infrastructure just barely hung on to. Strangely, I am here to see a play tonight.

My group went there for a photoshoot, which we arranged ahead of time.One of the workers made it very clear that she was displeased that we were there. She spoke in a loud voice about them not being happy, about how there was no point about us being there, and generally gave us the evil eye.I will not be returning for a tour. I will not be returning ever, and Im telling everyone I know about this experience.

Awesome flyweight governer!

Pretty cool place to check out, although there isnt much in there.

Great piece of history, since it opened in 1907!

Cool place free on 2nd saturday of the month

Good place
