The Puget Sound area is a hotbed of steampunk activity. It's home base for Abney Park and other musical acts, and is one of the few regions with a retail shop (Otherworlds) that specializes in steampunk. Gas Works Park and Georgetown Steamplant Museum are notable landmarks.

If that's not enough, Seattle is the setting for Cherie Priest's Boneshaker, a modern classic of steampunk that won the Locus Award for best science-fiction novel (it also received Hugo and Nebula nominations).

The listings below include locations in the Seattle/Tacoma area and other parts of western Washington. Check out the "Steamiest Places" section for attractions likely to be of greatest interest to steampunks.
