One of the best designed lobby open spaces anywhere. Very post post art-deco. Great neon.

Have attended many good films here and it remains one of the best theatres in Seattle area. Well maintained and now 3D and digital. Curved screens in all 6 auditoriums and great sound. Clean and updated everywhere. For an older building it has a neon decorated lobby and great location.

Wonderful art deco facade. Should be restored as a first run house again. Upscale area of Seattle could support it.

Great theatre still but I wish they would restore the original signage. I have seen many a film here over the years. Still attend often.

Wonderful art deco inspired interior. The best use for an old remodel.

A handsome theatre modern post art deco lobby and building. What a loss for the city and historic theatres.

Nice to see that this theatre has a new improved signage. This is a little plain. Great building detail work though.

Interesting pic. Looks as scary as the featured film. Excellent.

This is a large and beautifully maintained theatre. Huge lobby too. Nextdoor to a large and upscale shopping mall.

The idea of still using an elegant waterfall curtain in front of the screen should be used more often in new theatre construction. The MB does just this. It is the most beautiful new theatre in Seattle along with the Cinerama downtown. They have a nice curtain too.

paulnelson commented about Woodland Theatre on Aug 22, 2012 at 10:28 pm

This entrance was so much nicer than the present rough stone one. Auditorium looks like it is still intact. Would be nice if someone would restore the whole theatre. A great location for a cinema I would think. Very high end area now. Close to Phinney Ridge Seattle.

paulnelson commented about Seattle Cinerama on Jul 17, 2012 at 9:48 pm

I saw 2001 here in the 60’s. Great experience. Also Bladerunner in a Cinerama style presentation with a special lense on the projector and it looked like authentic Cinerama. That was the best experience. Years ago too.

I saw 2001 at the Cinerama in Seattle the after it had played for just a few months probably when I was very young. That theatre was built around 1962 and was planned just for Cinerama. It was all screen and fastastic. Also saw Blade Runner years later there in a Cinerama like lense presentation. Wow! Nothng but the biggest and widest screen ever. The theatre is still open and the best place to see a film. All the lastest advances in film presentation show up here.
