Grand Illusion Cinema

I visited the Grand Illusion several times on my trips to Seattle and each time I’d arrive, I always enjoyed approaching the scene in this photo from across the street, then ascending the stairs between the two poster boxes with the inviting house-like building on the left, (a separate business from the cinema).

On the day that I see that this cinema’s status has been changed to “demolished”, it will bother me knowing these structures are sure to be replaced by something of lesser character.
