Steam Punks are invited to wear their gear and add to the Victorian industrial vibe at Seattle City Light’s free October open house at the historic Georgetown Steam Plant this Saturday, Oct. 10.
Everyone is welcome whether you have a steam punk costume or not.
The plant will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free tours beginning at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. No reservations are required.
The interior of the plant is a fantastical world of delicate brass fixtures and 20th century gauges combined with three large steam generators and a wide variety of equipment considered innovative at the time. As one of the only intact historical steam plants in the United States, the Georgetown Steam Plant, built in 1906 along the shore of the Duwamish River, is a paradise for engineering aficionados and history lovers, including fans of the steam punk genre.
