The story
The Mount Baker Theatre opened in 1927 in Bellingham, Washington, a Moorish-Spanish fantasy of dome, minaret and star-scattered ceiling built as a movie-and-vaudeville palace, and it survives gloriously as the region's performing-arts centre, National Register-listed and still running its original Wurlitzer organ. Its ghost is civic property: 'Judy', described in theatre telling as a young woman whose home stood among those cleared for the theatre's construction — an identification of legend, not record — and credited by staff, performers and patrons with cold drafts on the mezzanine, doors and lights misbehaving, objects moved in the projection booth, a feminine voice and touches in the balcony, and appearances during quiet technical nights. The theatre embraces her warmly, naming spaces and telling her story on tours, including seasonal ghost walks. These accounts should be presented as the house's own affectionate folklore, unverified and cherished. Current show and tour details should be confirmed from the theatre's official site before publishing.
