The Lynwood Theatre is a historic movie theater located on Bainbridge Island in Kitsap County, Washington. It primarily screens independent and foreign films.

History

The Lynwood Theatre opened on July 3, 1936, as the first theater on Bainbridge Island to screen sound films, including She Couldn't Take It and Times Square Playboy. Founded by Edna and Emmanuel Olson, the 200-seat single screen theater was intended to offer a modern alternative to the silent film cinemas on the island.

The Lynwood Theatre is one of the three longest continuously-operating businesses on Bainbridge Island. | archive-url = https://archive.today/20241021215156/https://theislandwanderer.com/historic-lynwood-theatre-to-celebrate-its-87th-birthday-on-longest-day-of-the-year/ | access-date = October 21, 2024 | archive-date = October 21, 2024 In the 1950s, the Olsons sold the theatre to nephew Glenn Nolta and his wife Lucille.
