I also remember as a child seeing the epic “How the West Was Won” at this theatre, with the mural scenes of the American West on the walls. I was probably about 5 or 6, and the memory has become indelible. This theatre, though thoroughly up to date with online ticketing and major releases, had other nostalgic touches, such as original posters from “Cat Ballou” and “Major Dundee” on the walls. My own kids saw many movies here, including the first Harry Potter and first Lord of the Rings. I will miss this theatre.
Yes, I saw that it was closed too and although I wasnt surprised given the fact that they had little business recently and the bowling alley has been closed for years – I still was sad. I had been going there since Jr High and loved the 1 huge theatre it still kept with the murals on the wall. It is a “church” of all things now which I think is temporary. I have a feeling the Port of Seattle has plans to do something with it (so I’ve heard).
Oops! It was January 8! My apologies!
I was reading my online news last night and must unfortunately report that the Lewis & Clark theater (by the SeaTac Airport) just had its final showing this past Thursday, January 9, 2004. When I read of the closing, I was stunned. As a younger person and teenager, I viewed many movies there and had gone to the bowling alley with others. Some of the movies I have seen there are “Superman,” “Star Trek 3,” “Star Trek 5,” “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Die Hard.” Many, many other memories and movies I have had there. My goodness I cannot believe it is gone. As a huge movie and movie theater fan—Lewis & Clark, may you rest in peace and in our hearts. We’ll never forget you.
