Located in Deer Park, WA. The Deer Park Drive-In opened in 1953 and parked 250 cars. It was owned in 1956 by Wayne Mackey. Another strange double feature "Country Boy" a country musical with the violent "Guns For San Sebastion", playing here in the late-1960’s.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 519 South Fir Avenue.
Boxoffice, July 11, 1953: “DEER PARK, WASH. – The new Deer Drive-In on Highway 395 near here has been opened by co-owners Wayne Mackey and Lola Engle. The new theatre has accommodations for 250 cars, with provision for later expansion.”
the ramps still remain well most of them but barely visible
Sometime between 1983 and 1995 a building went up in the middle of what was left of the drive-in which wiped out most traces.
Today, a Google overhead view shows nothing left.
I drove past the site a couple of days ago - you’re right there’s nothing left. I’m having some trouble envisioning the layout of the drive in - are there any old photos of the drive in that can be found locally? It would be such a shame that the drive in would simply vanish into obscurity.
Opened in June, 1953.
