Please reconsider. A theater destroyed is gone forever.

Explore the option, commit to a financial feasible design that preserves the theater'so cinema use, while adding value through restaurant and other uses. Save the HE!

I think the mixed use idea, while preserving the historic character of the venue, is excellent.

Independent theaters need to be kept alive.

As a once long-time, and now recently returned, Capitol Hill resident, I was both saddend and dismayed that this historic and landmark anchor of the Seattle arts scene would disappear this year. Inclusion of a theater and stage space for public events, cinema screenings, live performances, and civic events would be a much welcome departure from the trend of elimination of the institutions that make Capitol Hill such a jewel of a neighborhood.

The Harvard Exit is a neighborhood treasure as a theatre, and I hope to see films there once again.

Please keep the theater intact. If they get removed it's character we will never get back. Shapiro you do awesome work, please work the theater into your plans. At least keep on of the two.

It's a treasure and a quality of "life on the hill" enhancement. Save it for movies and other entertainment it's the right thing to do

The Harvard Exit Theater is a vital historical architectural and independent cinematic venue on Capitol Hill. It's charming old brick mansion atmosphere (fireplace, piano, warmly lit, carpeted living room lobby, wooden stairs, beautiful windows, vintage French movie posters, etc) offers a degree of quaintness not found anywhere else in Seattle. That very unique space has been conducive to SIFF, LGBT film festivals, lectures, readings, plays, fundraisers, and a host of cultural activities that have brought the Capitol Hill Community together in celebration of the cultural pluralism that unites the very essence of our neighborhood. There is no better respite from the long dark winters, a cold rainy night, or a hot summers day than The Harvard Exit. I would strongly urge preserving this one-of-a-kind space at all costs. I would think that ( in fact) there would be a great deal of financial incentive and profit to be made by exploiting the fundamental creative spirit and resources that galvanize this community in this unique space that is The Harvard Exit.

The Harvard Exit is my favorite theatre. I routinely drive over from the Eastside (Woodinville) to see movies at this wonderful theatre. This building needs to be preserved for the art film community. I absolutely love the place. Please save it!

The Exit theater is one of the last few spots that gives Capitol Hill its distinctive personality. Replacing it with office space will add nothing to the community; rather, it will contribute to the erosion of the soul of this neighborhood.
