My friends and I joined a group of 10 others to tour this unique space ~all while getting a lesson and tasting of some very fine spirits! I have lived in Bellingham for 26 years, and was thrilled to see this building open up to make space for an amazing artist (art with both the space, and the artisan distillery) Right downtown, so easy to miss ~ but don't! Very friendly (and knowledgeable) tour guide and staff. we also bought a bottle of the bourbon. Can't wait for the gin to come out

Have been to Mt Baker Theatre many times but never have taken time to review it before. It's a beautiful old theatre, with lovely carvings. Don't forget to look at the ceiling! Seats are fairly comfortable and I've never not had a good view. Small concessions in lobby. Restrooms are clean and large enough. Always kind and helpful people working.
