What's going on with the Boeing IMAX Theater?
Another one of Seattle’s iconic movie theaters has been sold. This time, the Boeing IMAX theater.
The theater’s six story tall and 80 foot wide screen has endeared itself to local movie goers since it opened nearly 30 years ago.
Pacific Science Center sent out an email last week confirming they are selling the Boeing Imax, and a parcel of land equaling nearly a quarter of its footprint at Seattle Center.
The buyer is a familiar neighbor: The Space Needle.
And Space Needle leaders said, through a statement, they intend to keep operating the theater.
