The Historic Engine Room

I just came across this amazingly beautiful venue located in Georgetown. The Engine Room, now owned by Georgetown Studios, is located inside the famous Rainier Brewery building, which is now home to many small businesses including the well known, Georgetown Brewery, as well as many artists.
