Cinemagic
2021 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Cinemagic combines old school theater aesthetics with well-thought movie curation, showing new releases and seasonal favorites. The single screen auditorium has plenty of seating. Friendly staff, a vintage lobby, and games for kids combine to offer a place for us to share our excitement for film.
–Mike Ornelas
The history of Kiggins Theater is as resilient as the history of cinema itself. The box office kiosk and large marquee transports you back in time to the golden age of film. There’s even “The Kiggins Act,” legislation allowing the sale and consumption of alcohol at small theatres across Washington.

Living Room Theaters

Supplemental programming to Powell’s City of Books right across the street, Living Room Theaters is the chic hotel bar of movie theaters. This multi-screen venue is a vibrant social spot for wine, bites, stellar service directly to your comfy seats, all the while showing the latest blockbusters and arthouse features.
