The theater was finally allowed to reopen under Governor Inslee’s “Phase 2” coronavirus guidelines. This means only 50% capacity of cars, snack bar is takeout only, bathroom restrictions in place, and the gameroom arcade is closed.
This picture was taken a few days after the windstorm hit. Notice sections of the fence had been damaged along with a section of ASBESTOS tiles blown down from the screen tower.
Theater had all Motiograph projection and sound equipment. Motiograph model “AA” projector heads and Motiograph model SH-7500 soundheads. Also had Motiograph drive-in theater sound system package.
