In 1930 the organ was moved to Everett's Balboa Theatre by Balcom & Vaughan. In the 1940's it was moved to a church in Oak Harbor, Washington.
As of 1998, the Uptown still operates as a first run movie house. Unfortunately, the
interior has been heavily modified to hold several screens.
In February 2003, the Uptown Theatre presented several silent shorts featuring organist Bob Mitchell.
