Today we present a 19-page essay, “Raising the Wreck: The Salvation of the Admiral Theatre and the Dedication of Local Preservation.”

The paper was written by Brady Judd, a master’s degree student in history at Western Washington University in Bellingham.
Judd, originally from Bothell, examines the successful grassroots campaign to save the West Seattle moviehouse in 1989 when it was threatened with demolition.
He asked that his essay be published on our blog, and we are happy to oblige. You can download a pdf of the paper by clicking here. And if you wish to contact Judd, please email him here.
