Your guide to outdoor movies in the greater Seattle area

Spend summer nights enjoying family-friendly outdoor movies at the park (or the pool!) Pack your snacks, a blanket or low-back chairs, (maybe bug spray), and make yourself comfortable. Almost all of the movies are free, and there are so many showing this summer it should be easy to catch a flick that’s fun for the whole family.

Pre-movie entertainment typically gets going about 6 or 7 p.m., but movies themselves don’t start until dusk – about 9:15 p.m. at the start of summer and about 8:30 p.m. by the end of August. See below for movies and entertainment schedules for each venue.
