Regal Parkway Plaza Stadium 12
Regal closed its Parkway Plaza on March 16, 2020 for the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened in September of 2020 but closing soon thereafter on October 8, 2020 when the circuit temporarily shut down operations again worldwide.
Regal reopened the Parkway Plaza in May 21, 2021. However, it closed permanently following showtimes on September 14, 2022 with the company in its latest round of bankruptcy protection. It was one of 20 locations approved by a bankruptcy judge allowing the venue to break leases as it was unable to pay all of its September leasing due to liquidity problems.
(And - very technically - the venue was planned and designed by ACT III Theatres but the circuit was acquired by KKR Theatres in October of 1998 and then combined with United Artists which acquired Regal Entertainment Group Corp. operating under the Regal nameplate. This theatre opened as the Parkway Plaza Stadium 12 by Regal on July 16, 1999.)
This is an underappreciated gem in this part of suburban Seattle. A spotless, well-staffed and modern multiplex with plush stadium seating, it is now unfortunately overshadowed by the just-opened AMC Southcenter 16 just up the road. If you’re familiar with the area, it dates to a similar vintage as the now-closed Regal Bellevue Galleria 11, which also became upstaged by the flashier Lincoln Square Cinemas up the road just a few years after opening. Hopefully this place doesn’t suffer the same fate!
It’s an especially good place to see big films that you may have missed in the first 5-6 weeks of release – not a second-run house by any means, they just tend to hang onto some films a bit longer than other multiplexes.
