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?).

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.

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!

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.
