re: Hollywood on Sandy blvd. I recall seeing at least one movie there. An older style theater with a substantial balcony, iirc.

re: Clinton St. Theater. Been there at least once. Not memorable but in the older style. Circa 1980's when I visited.

haven't been to the NW Film theater.

re: where am I? Just north of Seattle.
I've been up here about 13 years. I still don't feel at home here. The traffic situation is gnarly. Population is densely packed. Much more so than what Portland was back when. I tend to avoid driving downtown. It's a chore to get there.

further notes re: Portland. Bicycle friendly. For the most part it seemed doable to ride the bike all over the East side, (where I lived)
Seattle: not bicycle friendly. No matter how many bike lanes get marked off, it seems far easier to get killed riding a bike up here than it did when I was there.

I'm sure there are some great theaters to haunt up in the Seattle area. Not to mention a couple of jazz clubs, the classical music scene, opera and an active drama scene. But I'm rather put off by the traffic situation. It may be time to move on. But I haven't decided where to. Some place smaller, to be sure.
