I have now added my hand drawn map of the theater property to the photos page for this theater.

Screen tower was all wood construction with telephone poles as the main support. The picture area was 40 feet by 94 feet with a flat black masking border painted on it. The tower did not angle toward the ramps. It was straight. The face of the picture area was all asbestos tiles.

The checkstands of the Fred Meyer store entrance “A” approximate where the screen tower once stood.

I contributed some of the photos and information to Arthur Allen’s Drive-ins of Western Washington site.

In November 1981 there was a huge windstorm that blew down the left one-third of the screen. Theater closed and sat for several years before being torn down.
