The Mount Baker Theatre has a history that dates back to the 1920's. That was the time when theaters in the country were coming to their own and things on the cultural front were beginning to hit a boom. Vaudeville was coming to the fore in a big way and new theaters around the country needed to be constructed to keep that going.

Bellingham provided a picture perfect location at the Pacific West Coast. The area called for someone to pick up the baton and develop it into a theatrical paradise. That was done by none other than the legendary William Fox, the owner of 20^th Century Fox. He was also the owner of West Coast Theatres and he used that entity to complete his plan. Renowned architect R.C. Reamer was given the task of designing the facility. Construction began in the year 1926 and after only one year, the brand new Mount Baker Theatre opened its doors for the public for the first time on 29^th April, 1927. The opening gala was attended by a sold-out crowd.

The biggest of them is the Main Theater which can play host to fifteen hundred people at a time.
