Kenmore


United, Kenmore


Another drive-in that was forced to close after a successful season, then sat empty because of an economic downturn. Currently the north half of the lot holds poplar shaded condos, and the south half holds a Metro Transit park and ride lot. (They couldn't have built that just anyplace.)

According to Kenmore By the Lake: A Community History by the Kenmore Heritage Society, the Kenmore Drive-in opened on May 1, 1953. The book has a picture of the outside of the theater on page 57.
