How do we get another added to the list? There is another big outdoor movie event in Snohomish! This is the fourth year that it’s run. Information here: sundquistmoviesinthepark.com
King County’s Movies@Marymoor is up and running, too. “Austin Powers” played last night at Marymoor Park, and there are five more movie nights this summer.

Thank you for the valuable information! seattlehotelier.blogspot.com
Another great outdoor movie opportunity is Cinema on the Lawn at the South Lake Union Block Party on Friday, August 13. To honor the superstitious day, Cinema on the Lawn will be devoted to the undead. First up is a special screening of Michael Jackson’s Thriller followed by the recent smash Zombieland (Rated R). The Block Party’s outdoor movie will begin 30 minutes after dusk (approx. 9:00-9:30 PM) on the lawn outside the SLU Discovery Center (northwest corner of Denny Way and Westlake Ave. N). http://www.slublockparty.com
Thanks to everyone who commented—it helps to fill out our list.
