The state's largest performing arts center north of Seattle occupies a restored vaudeville-era (1927) theater with a 110-foot-tall Moorish tower and a lobby fashioned after a Spanish galleon. It is home to the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra and also presents movies, musicals, and headline performers.
