The Haida became part of the Famous Players chain in late-1967 and would remain with Famous Players until joining Odeon Theatres in January 1970:
The Haida was demolished in 1995:
The specific closure date for the Haida was May 12, 1992 as a result of the discovery of structural problems with the theatre’s roof, which would have made it vulnerable to collapse due to either heavy snowfall or an earthquake.
Closed in 1992. Last movie was CITY OF JOY starring Patrick Swayze.
This reopened as the Plaza on May 2nd, 1936. Ad posted.
Here’s another shot of the Haida (as the Plaza), along with the Dominion, taken probably around the early 1950s.
This photo, from the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society shows this theatre as the Plaza in 1946, with the Dominion next door and the Capitol across the street.
