The Blue Mouse Theatre was a first-run house in downtown Seattle. The Blue Mouse installed a Wurlitzer theater pipe organ in October 1920. Organists ‘Bus’ McClelland and Billy Bilger played the Blue Mouse in 1927. By circa October 1929, the theater was still owned by or had been sold to John Hamrick.
The theater was demolished circa 1960s-1970s.
