Per Ron Green:
It was completed in 1948 as a theater, then moved in 1962 to the south side of Bothell Way, just across from Brooks Biddle.
The lobby part and the quonset hut were eventually both used for a used car dealer and a repair garage.
Before that, there was a feed store in the new location for a while.
There was also a time in the 1970s when it was a consignment shop.
I’ve scanned page 115 of the 2009 book Bothell Then and Now which showed the building(s) shortly before they were torn down. The next year, 2010, was the end of it, with all the demolition that took place as Bothell Way moved half-a-block closer to the Sammamish.

The address needs to be changed to 2000 N. Western. Check the 1993 flier I posted in the Photos Section. Several Chicago Tribune articles from 1992 also confirm the address.
January 3, 1966 — New York City was in the third day of its first transit strike shutting down the subway and city buses. Newly sworn in Mayor John Lindsay urged people “who are not essential workers” to stay home to avoid massive vehicular traffic. Well, who isn’t an “essential worker?” Everyone from janitors to CEO’s jammed the highways while others braved the winter weather hoofing it across bridges or riding bicycles. It was a nightmare.
