Kitsap Lake Drive-In

I used to work there during summer of 69,70. Always had a lot of fun. Remember “Easy Rider”, we were packed every night. Where is the sign located in Seattle??

According to the city tax assessor and the Kitsap Lake Historical Society, this drive-in opened in 1953.

I grew up on nearby Northlake Way in the 70s and remember going here several times as a kid, often watching the movie from the “overcab” bed in our camper! I kind of vaguely remember the sea green marquee mentioned. It also had a small drive-in style playground under the screen, similar but smaller than the one out at Rodeo Drive-in, which we also went to a few times. By the time I graduated high school in 1986 (still living on Northlake) I do remember the Kitsap Lake Drive-In being closed, but I recall there being swap meets there quite often on summer weekends (this may have overlapped their last few years of operation)… then later (I had gone away to college by now) I remember it being used as a storage yard as mentioned. I also recall very well the Indian Head sign, having driven by it hundred of times… I seem to remember it being there for quite a long time after they closed. I am going to ask my Mom who still lives in the area if it remains!
