Everett Motor Movie History
The Everett Motor Movie in Everett, Washington, opened on April 12, 1951, with Betty Grable in Call Me Mister and Forrest Tucker in California Passage. It stood near 75th Street and Evergreen Way, then the main highway south of town. The Seattle architect Paul G. Carlson designed it, and it held about 736 cars.
The name was its own way of saying drive-in, and the sign spelled it out in three parts: Everett in a large script, the small word Motor, and Movie in block capitals across a dark bar, all above a wide marquee. The 1952 Theatre Catalog ran pictures of the marquee and the entrance.
It closed on July 25, 1979, by the account on Cinema Treasures, with Hometown USA on the bill, a film of that year. The Everett library's list has 1978. A shopping center, Cascade Plaza, took the site.
