Found this: https://www.pugetsound.media/2020/05/07/radio-went-to-the-movies-kbfw-sro-theaters/ about the radio station that shared the building with the Samish Drive In. I worked for SRO theater Division for some time in the 1980’s. They were a great company to work for. Pictures of the Drive In included.
AGAIN the correct address is 800 Lincoln St, Bellingham, WA 98229.
This is now the Lincoln Park & Ride lot. Ramps are used for parking. BO is used for tolls. Only the concession building and screens are gone.
