I'd heard the same rumors about the taxidermied trophy animals being shipped off to Washington (Tacoma, not Seattle was the story I heard from a bartender in 2005) but we were just there and the front windows and main bar area and stage area were still the same.
The back room -- that's also full of taxidermied animals -- was almost always closed to the public (I've only seen it once) and it was closed this time as well. Perhaps those were the animals being transferred.

[Jim Hilton, 12/03/2005] A submerged room let you peer out at the murky sea life of Oregon. A scuba diver swam with the fish several times a day as a recorded narrator told you what you really couldn't see. Opened in 1966, closed in 2019.

For those who have driven across the US, I come and join your ranks. My wife and I drove from Huntsville, AL to San Diego, CA via Minneapolis, MN and Seattle, WA. On our journey of 5,500 miles we stopped (my idea, of course) in Mitchell, SD to view the famed Corn Palace. It was amazing. I probably stood out in the single-digit March temps for an hour just looking at how it was made. All of the gift shop stuff was closed (there was 3 feet of snow on the ground and I-90 was closed) but we managed to get a few great pics between shivers.
I would recommend this site to anyone who wants a great unique place to stop.
