New LDS Temple Announced for Washington, Adding to a Region That Includes Bellevue

Washington state's faith landscape is growing, with a newly announced Latter-day Saint temple set to serve communities across the greater Seattle region, including areas near Bellevue.

🛕 Marysville to Welcome Washington's Seventh LDS Temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to construct a new temple in Marysville, Washington, marking the faith's 384th existing or announced temple worldwide and the second named during the current presidency of Dallin H. Oaks. The announcement was made during a devotional gathering in the Marysville Washington Stake by a general authority of the church, who read a letter from the faith's governing First Presidency expressing that the new temple would allow members more frequent access to its sacred ordinances and covenants. Washington state already has a Latter-day Saint temple in suburban Bellevue, which has stood since 1980, making the Marysville building the seventh temple either existing or planned in the state. The specific location within Marysville and the construction timeline have not yet been disclosed, with the church indicating those details will follow at a later date. [3]
