The Proctor District is home to one of Washington State’s oldest movie theaters, the Blue Mouse Theater.

This facility, over 85 years in the same location, was saved 15 years ago by the Blue Mouse Associates (some call them Angels).

The Blue Mouse is everything that a small neighborhood movie theater should be: clean, well-run, great prices, and showing features that have just come from the ‘first run’ multi-screen chains.
