History

[edit]

The Washington Hotel opened in 1889 and was restored by a local family in 1997 following a destructive fire. The efforts earned the building a Washington State Preservation Award in 1999. The hotel once served a movie house and vaudeville theater, known as the Dream Theatre, which opened in 1911. Since its construction, the structure has been home to several small businesses, once including the Vintage Motorcycle Museum. A Dream Theater ghost sign is visible on the front entrance side of the structure.[1][2]
