The Mount Baker Theatre was built in 1927, one of West Coast Theatres majestic "movie palaces" of the 1920's. The elaborate Spanish-Moorish architecture was designed by architect R.C. Reamer. The Theatre is still a great place to catch a Broadway show, dance troupe, or creepy silent movie accompanied by the antique Wurlitzer pipe organ.

So glad to hear it still functions as a theater. This is a terrific shot, lizziviggi. That cherry red against the blue sky really draws you in but it pays to look at all the details.
