English: The Seattle City Light Yesler Substation stood just west of Seventh Avenue on Yesler Way. It was the original receiving substation in the City Light system, built in 1904-05 and receiving power from the Cedar Falls hydroelectric Plant. Superseded by more modern substations, it was retired from that function in 1951 and retrofitted to function instead as the power dispatching headquarters for City Light's entire electrical distribution system, a role which it served from 1952 until it was demolished in summer 1963 to make way for Interstate 5.
