In a town known for its love of cinema, it's no surprise that the warmer months
are loaded with outdoor movies (shows start in July and run through August).
Grab some (low) seating, a few refreshments and whatever else strikes your
fancy and enjoy a feature film under the stars at one of these venues.

summer
movie series has been as fun as it is crazy
for 20 (+) years, and isn't about to stop.
Showings usually include a zany event
themed around the movie (in past years
we've seen Cowboy Strip Poker for Clint
Eastwood's Unforgiven, a Huggies Diaper
relay for the Coen Brothers' Raising Arizo-
na, and an Edward Scissorhands-themed
haircut contest), and the audience is gen-
erally encouraged to participate. Ticket
prices vary, or inquire about a season pass
(as low as $30).
Seating opens at 7 p.m., movies at dusk.
Nestled in a
courtyard next to
Hotwire Online
Coffeehouse, this
outdoor movie series
has a bit of cozy charm that you won't find
at the other venues. Arrive a bit early as
seating can be limited.
Free. 8:30 p.m.
You just can't get
any more Seattle
than watching a
flick under the Space Needle. Check out
Movies at the Mural on the Seattle
Center's Mural Amphitheatre lawn – right
beneath the space needle and in front
of a giant screen. Seating is first-come,
first-serve, so show up early if you want
a prime spot. low back chairs, blankets or
bean bags if you want a seat up front -
you may be directed toward the back of
the Mural Amphitheatre lawn if you bring
high backed chairs. Pack some grub and
plan on a pre-movie picnic.
Free. Movies start at dusk (around 9 p.m.)
Thursday evenings make
a trip to
Magnuson
Park
for one of the best
outdoor movie experiences you will have
this summer. The outdoor cinema takes
place in the grass athletic fields with lots of
room for blankets chairs and comfortable
viewing. More than 10 food trucks surround
the space selling hot food, snacks, kettle
corn, sweet treats, ice cream and more.
