Regarding The Paramount Theatre. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Paramount Theatre of Seattle, along with a sister structure in Portland, is a variation of the Paramount Theatre in New York City. Seattle's Paramount was designed by Northwest architects Marcus Pritteca and F. J. Peters. Construction began in 1926, and little expense was spared. The theatre opened on the night of March 1, 1928.
