The Embassy Theatre was located in downtown Seattle on Union Avenue.
A Kimball theater pipe organ was installed in the Embassy Theatre in 1925. Organist Ed Zollman played at the Embassy in the 1920s.
Showing 1-3 December 1929, Our Modern Maidens (1929); 4 December 1929, Speedway (1929).
In later years, the Embassy became an adult film theater. In its latest incarnation, the theater building has been converted into The Triple Door music nightclub that specializes in jazz acts.
