The Egyptian Theatre was a first-run house, opening in Seattle’s University District near the University of Washington on 25 December 1925. The theater was built by T.F. Murphy at a cost of $250,000, and had a Robert-Morton theater pipe organ installed in 1925.

The theater was remodeled in the 1960s into a retail store. The Egyptian is not related to the currently-operating Egyptian Theater on Seattle’s Capitol Hill.
