The Admiral Theatre originally had 1500 seats when it was built in 1942 at a cost of $250,000. In the early 1980s it was split into three theaters but closed in 1988. In 1990 the citizens of Bremerton formed the non-profit Admiral Theatre Foundation to restore and operate it. After $4.2 million dollars were raised, the Admiral opened again in 1997.
Today the cabaret-style main floor seats 300 and the traditional balcony seats 502. The Admiral, which is called “the premiere arts presenting venue in the West Puget Sound Region” offers catering services and is available for both public and private events.

Here is an August 6, 2009 story about the Admiral getting a paint job. The main colors will be empire gold and brick red.
The picture at the top of the thread is the Admiral Theatre in Seattle Washington.
William is incorrect. The photo at the top is indeed the Admiral in Bremerton.
Spent many hours here as a kid in the 60’s and early 70’s. We would buy cheap popcorn at the Kresge’s 5&10 next door and hide it under our coats until we made it to our seats for the movie.
I understand Bill Gates donated a significant amount of money to this theater. He attended this theater as a child.
