Talk:Coliseum Theater (Seattle)

When exactly did the theater close?
The cited source from the National Park Service says the theater shut circa 1980 and was vacant for over a decade, but I believe that is wrong. I'm pretty sure I saw films there in the late 1980s.

A blog post on Vintage Seattle says closing night was March 11, 1990. Vintage Seattle is generally reliable in my experience, but it is not at all official: just "some guy with a site". - Jmabel | Talk 00:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The extremely reliable HistoryLink—probably the single best online source for Northwest history—concurs on the 1990 date, so I will edit accordingly. I think the NPS just got it wrong, and others have probably slavishly followed them. They specifically cite That seems pretty definitive. - Jmabel | Talk 00:33, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
