Spotted in a free little library - Belles On Their Toes, a great selection from the Georgetown Steam Plant book club! It follows the adventures of the Gilbreth family after Frank Gilbreth's death, just 17 years after he designed and built the Georgetown Steam Plant.

We almost missed the chance to wish a Happy Birthday to Ted, our volunteer docent extrordinaire. For some fool reason, he turns another year older every November. H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y T E D!

Happy Native American Heritage Day! The Georgetown Steam Plant was built in 1906 along the bank of Seattle’s only river, the Duwamish, which is named after the first people to inhabit the area. Today we commemorate the history and contributions of America's indigenous people, particularly the Duwamish, upon whose traditional and unceded lands we live and work. ... #NativeAmericanHeritageDay #gratitude #seattlecitylight https://www.duwamishtribe.org/history

The Port of Seattle and the Seattle Parks Foundation are thrilled to share the new, beautiful, community-sourced names for six Port-owned parks and shoreline habitat sites along the Duwamish River. If you’re able, please join them for the announcement live during the Port of Seattle Commission’s meeting this Tuesday, Oct 27th or, if you can’t make it, they will have a recording of the program shortly after, so you can watch when it is convenient for you. Thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas! Long live the Duwamish!

We'd like to thank the volunteers who showed up on a Sunday to help create a virtual tour for fans and students of the Georgetown Steam Plant. We will have content to add to our website for you in a few weeks so you can "be" inside the steam plant again!
