Citizens Light and Power Company built their plant on Elliott Bay, on the west shore of Queen Anne, a bit north of where the Terminal 86 Grain Facility sits today (2022). According to Paul Dorpat, because of pressure from the residents of Queen Anne Hill, "the company installed the first downdraft smokeless boiler furnaces used on the West Coast. With this innovation the plant spewed neither smoke nor smell." A rare win for environmental concerns in a time of go-go development. It later became Seattle Lighting Co Gas Plant North Station. In the background: Railroad magnate James J. Hill formed the Great Northern Steamship Co. in 1900 and began building two ocean-going steamers, the " "Minnesota" and the "Dakota", to carry trade goods between Seattle and Japan. The Great Northern Docks at Smith's Cove was the bustling center of this Pacific trade. The trains traveled over the bay on trestles, then continued on their way eastward across Stevens Pass. Also visible in this photo is an early natural gas plant along Elliott Avenue. |
