The Moore Theatre and the
adjoining Moore Hotel was built in 1907 by the flamboyant Seattle real estate
developer James A. Moore and remains as the oldest operating theater in Seattle. The
theatre had a stylistically neutral exterior compared to its extravagant
interior of onyx, marble, stained glass, muses, mosaic floors, with ivory, old
rose, olive and gold décor.
We sat in the 2nd balcony, used
during the racially segregated period of its history with its separate side
entrance (and a gazillion stairs!). Here’s the view from there,
where we watched Whose Live Anyway.
