Information for this tour was contributed by Mark Campbell. The Villa Plaza Cinema was built and operated by General Cinema. Originally, it was a two screen theatre, but the larger auditorium was twinned in 1982. After this, the smaller auditorium became the main house with about 500 seats. It was the only auditorium with Dolby Stereo. The smaller twin auditoriums were mono sound and, because of their narrow nature, the screen masking retracted vertically for scope presentations. As newer, more modern theaters were built in Tacoma and Lakewood (now a city and the actual location of the Villa Plaza) the cinema fell into decline and was eventually shuttered in the spring of 1988 when General Cinema opened the Lincoln Plaza 8 a few miles away.
