The King Cat Theater opened in downtown Seattle in 1974 as the King Cinema. Built by the Walter Reade circuit, the name reflects King County as well as local King Broadcasting Co. which was owned at the time by the Bullitt family. The King’s auditorium is a cozy room with stadium seating. A massive golden-tan curved drapery glides open to reveal a big movie screen. The King Cat Theater was in the local movie spotlight in 1977 for movies and for years has been a venue for concerts and artists like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
