The entrance was off 7th Street about where Columbia Street now intersects.
And, 7th Street was never connected to WA-26. It’s somewhat difficult to tell in the 1955 aerial, but the 1964 aerial shows no road off WA-26 that would allow access to 7th Street. I suppose you could drive on the dirt, but there was no road connection. Which is rather curious since WA-26 is not elevated, so connecting it to 7th would be easy, it seems.
Today, despite being an open field with only Columbia Street intersecting the northern part of the property, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. It appears that a considerable amount of soil was placed on the property which covers all remnants of the drive-in.
Now WSDOT (Transpotation department of Othello).

Please update.
Boxoffice, June 1, 1957: “OTHELLO, WASH. – George and Clayton Finkbeiner have sold their Sunset Drive-In to the Cherokee Theatres, which has renamed the airer the Powwow.”
