The Mount Baker Theatre (officially abbreviated MBT) is a 1,517-seat performing arts venue and national historic landmark in Bellingham, Washington, United States. The theater hosts professional productions and concerts as well as community performances from the north of Puget Sound.[1][3] The theater's main stage is the largest theatrical venue in Washington north of Seattle's Paramount and 5th Avenue.[1][3]
The Mount Baker Theatre was designed by architect Robert Reamer (who also designed Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre) in a Moorish–Spanish style.[1][2] Popular legend holds that the building is haunted by a ghost named Judy.[4] The facility is owned by the city of Bellingham[5] and managed by the nonprofit Mount Baker Theatre organization, headed by president Gary Barnett and executive director Brad Burdick.[6]
