City Light power plant on Lake Union, circa 1926
Order an ImageSeattle City Light built a coal-burning steam plant in 1906 to generate electricity for the growing city. With its large windows and smokestacks, this distinctive building on Lake Union is still a landmark. The power plant operated until 1984. It is now the home of a research company which has preserved the building's earlier character.
This photo, taken in the mid-1920s, shows City Light's electric generating plant on Lake Union. Capitol Hill rises in the background.
