It really hurt to see our beloved Vue-Dale Drive-In Theater go away 13 years ago. The Wenatchee Valley wasn't alone: Vue-Dale was one of six other drive-in theaters to call it quits in the past few years.

There are 5 remaining drive-ins in the state of Washington. One had the recent honor of making TripSavvy’s list of “18 Best Drive-In Movie Theaters in the US.”

The Blue Fox Drive-In theater in Oak Harbor slipped in at #18 on the list.

The Blue Fox offers one screen and is open year-round. The Blue Fox Drive-in has parking for nearly 300 cars. They serve great pizza and offer alcohol in the “Backlot Tavern” NOTE: You must consume your alcohol on tavern ground and cannot bring it back to your vehicle.

Blue Fox Drive-in

1403 North Monroe Landing Road
Oak Harbor, WA 98277

Here’s what TripSavvy said about The Blue Fox on Whidbey Island:

‘The Pacific Northwest knows how to party. The theater complex, which sits amid the pastoral fields of Oak Harbor, also includes a snack bar, arcade, and go-karts. The track is a quarter of a mile long and is open for races until showtime at dusk. Be sure to grab a bag of their signature kettle corn.’ -TripSavvy

One other Pacific Northwest Drive-in also made the list: The 99W Drive-In in Newport, Oregon made it at #14 on the list. One of the big plusses of seeing a movie at the 99W is you can bring food (hint, hint…bring in your bag of Burgerville, fries, and a shake!)
