A New LDS Temple Planned for Marysville Adds to Washington's Faith Landscape Near Bellevue

Washington State's interfaith landscape continues to evolve, and for Bellevue's diverse community — including its many South Asian members of various faiths — news of a new house of worship nearby is a reminder of the region's deep spiritual roots.

⛪ Marysville to Welcome Washington's Seventh LDS Temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to construct its 384th temple in Marysville, Washington, making it the seventh existing or planned temple in the state. The announcement was made during a devotional gathering of the Marysville Washington Stake, where a general authority read a letter from the faith's governing First Presidency. The Seattle area already has a longstanding temple in suburban Bellevue, which has served local members since 1980, and this new addition is intended to provide more frequent access to sacred ordinances for a growing membership. The specific location and construction timeline for the Marysville temple have not yet been announced. [1]
