    If anyone has been there since the renovations, are there entrances to all 4 theatres on the main level for accessible seating? Or do you have to walk upstairs for any of the theatres? I’m not sure how they configured things for 4 theatres, and I didn’t recall any elevator in there to get upstairs if needed.

      We’ve gone to several movies at The Admiral since the renovated auditoriums started coming online a few months ago. All entrances are on the main level.

    Apparently there was some unused space behind the screens. They shortened the 2 existing screening rooms and built 2 new screens in the spaces to the north. There is a hallway between the shortened rooms. It’s all on the ground floor.

    I’m not sure what they are doing with the balconies.

    Thanks so much to the West Seattle Historical Society and the owners of the theatre so putting on this event.   We saw The Maltese Falcon and it was beautifully presented.  Those seats are a little too comfy though :-)   Go enjoy a movie at our wonderful local theatre!

Sorry, comment time is over.
