In operation since around 1942, the Vashon Theatre is the only theatre located on Vashon Island. The island can only be reached by ferry and has a population of just 12,000 people.
On the rear outside wall of the theatre, there is a weathered mural depicting classic movie stars such as Charlie Chaplin.
