I Love to See the Temple
Seattle, Washington
1975: Announced
1978: Groundbreaking
1980: Dedicated by
Spencer W. Kimball
First temple in the
Pacific Northwest
One of five temples
with an angel Moroni
statue holding the
hold plates.
Angel Moroni doesn’t
face east due to the
placement of the
temple on the lot.
A red light used to
flash under the
Moroni statue to
warn planes from a
nearby airfield which
closed in 1983.
