The Spokane Washington Temple is the 59th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).




History


The temple was announced in August 1998, with the groundbreaking taking place on October 10, 1998. During the open house one year later, 52,000 people toured the building. On August 21, 1999, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Spokane Washington Temple, with approximately 16,000 members attending 11 dedication sessions.
The Spokane Washington Temple is located in Spokane County, and serves about 50,000 LDS Church members in eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana. Its design includes gray granite walls, art glass windows, and a lone spire topped by a golden angel Moroni. The temple has a total floor area of 10,700 square feet (990 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
In 2020, along with all the church's other temples, the Spokane Washington Temple was closed for a time in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
