A Capitol Hill landmark is going dark for good.

The SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) Cinema Egyptian movie theater is permanently closing after suffering from flood damage last year. The single-screen theater closed temporarily in the previous fall after a pipe leak caused significant water damage. Management ultimately decided to close the business permanently.

“After a lengthy decision process and many discussions, SIFF and Seattle Central have mutually decided to end SIFF’s current lease at the Egyptian,” SIFF Executive Director Tom Mara said in the news release. “Much has changed for SIFF, our city, and the arts industry at large.”

According to The Seattle Times , repairs to the building are complete, meaning the space will now be available for rent.
