The boiler room at the Steam Plant offers an eerie glimpse into early 20th-century working conditions.  Oil (and later coal) was fed into 16 giant boilers to produce the steam required to turn the Curtis Steam Turbines in the room next door.

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 the turbines were state-of-the art for their time, the technology was advancing so quickly that the plant became outdated within 10 years. 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.
