King County's Marymoor Park hosts popular movie series under the stars

King County's First Tech Movies @ Marymoor Park series is under way, and there are still plenty of great movies for the whole family to watch under the stars.

The series, presented through a partnership between King County Parks, First Tech Credit Union and Epic Events, runs every Wednesday evening at McNair Field in Marymoor Park.

Open seating begins at 7 p.m., and all movies begin at dusk. Admission is free, but a donation of $5 for individuals and $15 for families is suggested. Proceeds go to support King County Parks.

A great date movie, "The Princess Bride," is scheduled for July 25, followed on Aug. 1 by the hit comedy, "The Devil Wears Prada," starring Meryl Streep.

Rounding out the series is the classic comedy, "Back to the Future," followed by the heartwarming "The Pursuit of Happyness" and concluding with the Oscar-nominated "Monster House."

First Tech Credit Union is also bringing back the popular First Tech Movie Bingo to this year's series. Bingo cards containing movie words and phrases will be distributed at movie screenings and attendees will have the opportunity to win fun prizes.

The Movies at Marymoor are dog-friendly, so feel free to bring Fido with you. Seating is on grass, and low-back lawn chairs or blankets are recommended. Popcorn and soda are available for purchase. Kettle corn, all beef hot dogs, snacks and SUBWAY sandwiches are all available from Marymoor Park concessionaires.
