Valley 6 Drive-in: 253-854-1250 located at 401 49th Street / Auburn Ave.
Washington's largest Drive-in movie theatre
(with six screens and parking for up to 3,000 cars spread-out across more than a couple dozen acres), is perched right on the edge of oblivion .. tho for now, the PictureShow goes on, images of 2,600 housing units and roughly 1,000,000 sqft of commercial space are also being projected here. Presently, the
Valley is still lit-up, but it appears inevitable that it will become the Valley of shadows .. until then, their season runs: late March thru
October, screening 6 pairs of double features each nite; with a repeat screening of the first movie as a 3rd feature on Fridays & Saturdays.
Audio for all screens is provided with AM radio.
Admission: $5 (12&up); $3.50 Srs. & ages 12-15.
Bellingham (Whatcom County) Washington
Samish Twin Drive-in: DARK located at 3801 Byron Avenue
The youngest of all of Washington's remaining Drive-ins is this deuce which was built in 1972, a few blocks east of
Interstate-5 in the northwest corner of the state (and only
50 miles south east of Vancouver, BC). Between their two screens, they can accommodate nearly 600 cars. It's like a little, walled village here .. looking almost as if all of the corrugated metal fencing was erected in a vain attempt to ward-off the encroach of the housing developments which have pretty much encircled the entire property {fortress}.
Audio provided with FM radio broadcast. Admission: $5.50 per person (age12&up); ages 11 and under admitted free.
