Opened November 13, 1923. It is the oldest continuously operating theater in the state of Washington. Basic craftsman style. Small enough to be fairly intimate, but not tiny. It is exactly what a neighborhood theater should be. Its in a great neighborhood, you walk up, buy a very reasonably priced ticket, visit the concession stand and see a movie. Nothing real spectacular, but a great place to see a movie.

It seems to be doing pretty well showing good second-run movies. The Blue Mouse also hosts a small international film festival each year.
This is a 2008 photo of the Blue Mouse.
LM, I wonder if the blue mice at the top of the marquee flash in sequence so that it looks like they are moving across the top of the marquee.
Yes the Mice appear to be running across the top of the marquee
and If the photo Load worked I could load a bunch of pictures

I recently wrote an article about this theater for a website called Neighborhood Life. (www.neighborhoodlife.net) You’ll see a photo of the Blue Mouse on the opening page and can click there. It’s also the first article on the “Features” page. Please take a look.
Strange name but cool.
When I was stationed at nearby Ft. Lewis in 1963-64, I used to go to this theater for the latest Ingmar Bergman films like “Winter Light” and “The Silence”. At that time, it was called the Proctor. Great little moviehouse, and a nice place to take a date as well.
The Proctor Theatre is the Blue Mouse, The theatre has changed hands over the years and bought out by some investors in 1993 and returned it to it’s original name Of blue mouse then and is still operating
Everyday.. Last year we were put on Washington state Historic Listing and most recently the National Historic registry
