The Lynn started as a single screen but was twinned soon after. Its auditoriums were twinned along the way, turning it into a fourplex.

Opened in 1965, it closed in 1984. Was owned by Sterling. When Cineplex Odeon bought Sterling, Cineplex Odeon closed the Lynn.

The building and marquee still exist. It is used as a warehouse for World Concern, a local group that ships food to third world nations.

The original Lynn Theater was 800 seats, but was never twinned. Instead, an identical theater was built shortly after it opened and was known as the Lynn Twin. In 1978, each of the theaters was split down the middle, creating four long and narrow theaters. Sterling actually closed the theater before Cineplex bought them out after three additional screens were added to their Grand Alderwood Cinemas.

I used to work at this theatre in the seventies. The building is still there but it is currently vacant. I understand that Sterling Realty owns the property. I wish Landmark would purchase the theatre and restore it to its glory. They could feature bargain second run movies on two of the screens and first run films on the other two. I have current photos of the building if anyone is interested. I would post them here on the site but they are not accepting new photos at the moment. If you would like to see them, feel free to e-mail me and I would be happy to send them to you.
I would love to see vintage photos of the Lynn Twin / Lynn Four if anyone has them.
Thanks

Bad news. Apparently this wonderful old buildings days are numbered. It looks like Sterling Realty is in talks with big box retailer Home Depot to build on this site. I've noticed moving vans backed up to the building on several occasion recently, perhaps emptying out the building in preparation for demolition. It is very sad indeed. I had truly hoped that someone would restore this great old theatre and put it back into operation. It would have been terrific. Another one bites the dust.
Those of you in this area with fond memories of the Lynn / Lynn Twin / Lynn Four theater should go take your final last looks and say your good-byes. I will try to get some good photos of the place to one day post here on this site.

The theater opened in 1964, not 1965

The address that I found for the Lynn 4 is:

19802 Highway 99
Lynnwood, WA 98036

Located at that address is Pacific Hospitality Investment Liquidators which is a fancy name for used furniture.
