I'm not POSITIVE it's the right kind of IMAX theater, because I don't know how to check - but I just wanted people to be aware that this tool is limited. :(

It's not. It's IMAX laser. It is 4K digital projection. Seattle has been without a 70mm IMAX venue since the Boeing IMAX theatre went digital and removed their film projectors in 2015.

You probably could not select that theatre, because by default the link I sent searches for film showings only.

Yes it is confusing.

From Best to worst (in my opinion:)

70mm IMAX - Best Quality. Full Frame.
IMAX Laser - 4K Digital Projection. Full Frame. Very good color and contrast.
Normal 70mm - Film Quality, but matted losing the top and bottom of the frame
35mm - Film Quality, but matted losing the top and bottom of the frame
IMAX Digital - Digital projection. Not full frame
Regular Digital - What you get at your local theatre
