The Majestic Bay Theater, built in 1914 in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, was the oldest continuously-operating movie theater in the United States prior to its closure in 1997.[1] In 1998, it was renovated and transformed from a bargain single-screen theater to a well-appointed triplex.[2]

The theater opened as The Majestic in 1914. It was renamed The Bay at a later date until the closure. The rebuilt theater adopted both names.
