Some of the exterior details are unceremoniously perched within the City Center shopping center downtown.

I am looking forward to experiencing the theatre tour first hand. Question: Where was the Music box Theater? I thought that it use to be up from the Coliseum on Pike street, where the CVB is now. Is that correct? Where can I go to locate the Music box information? Thank you. Thank you for the insights to the Seattle Theatres and info on the architectural tours.

Now that would be incredible. I'd have no problem saying goodbye to Banana Republic :) Good call on the links!

Puget Sound Theater Organ Society (never knew one existed, myself) also have some great photos <a href="http://www.pstos.org/instruments/wa/seattle/coliseum.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a> - apparently the Wurlitzer organ console ended up in a home in Ohio. Another intersting note from that site: "During an extensive remodeling, the original terra cotta exterior was restored and the sloped theatre floor, proscenium and entire balcony were preserved. The possibility exists that a future tenant could restore the theatre to its original purpose."

Next time I'm around there I will have to ask a manager if I can sneak back there with my camera. Kate: Thanks, glad you're enjoying the blog. And here I thought Shipley and Todd were the only 2 readers! :) Cliffe Todd: Cool information. Next time I’m around there I will have to ask a manager if I can sneak back there with my camera.

I saw a story on Evening Magazine or some Seattle show where they showed what was left after it was turned into a store. Thanks.
