Opened in June, 1953.
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.
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.
the ramps still remain well most of them but barely visible
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.”
Approx. address for this drive-in was 519 South Fir Avenue.
