Currently a church.
Once operated by Loews Cineplex.
Cineplex Odeon announced the opening of its Tacoma Central Cinemas 6 as December 14, 1990. The $1.5 million six-plex seated 1,470 patrons. Cineplex Odeon and Loews announced their merger on September 30, 1997 creating Loews Cineplex Entertainment. Lowes Cineplex announced its bankruptcy in the megaplex era on February of 2001 making it a bit easier to shed underperforming and aging multiplexes. They ankled the Tac-Central after showtimes on February 11, 2001.
After a year’s absence, Entertainment Filmworks reopened here as the Tacoma Central Cinema 6 on February 13, 2002 operating through July 20, 2003 with Galaxy Theatres on deck. On July 25, 2003, it became the Galaxy Tacoma Central 6. In its final days it became the Galaxy 6 Tacoma.
Cinema patrons just were not that into sterile multiplexes and Galaxy closed here on February 19, 2009 with “Pink Panther 2,” “Taken,” “Revolutionary Road,” “Paul Blart,” “Coraline,” “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” and “He’s Just Not That Into You.” The property owners found a church to convert this to a house of worship to lessen the property’s taxing liability soon thereafter.
