HOQUIAM, WA — This article chronicles the renovations of the atmospheric 7th Street Theatre as seen through the eyes of its legendary concession man.

If some criminal had called Lane Youmans “Butter Boy” during his days as a Grays Harbor Sheriff’s detective, it wouldn’t have gone down well.

But when he’s behind the snack bar counter at the 7th St. Theatre, it’s a nickname Youmans has come to not only expect but meet with a grin. He’s the guy who puts butter on the popcorn whenever a movie is showing — whether it’s “Casablanca” or “Willy Wonka.”
