The announcement of the Marysville Washington Temple on April 19, 2026, marks a significant milestone for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, bringing the number of temples worldwide to 384. This new temple will enhance access to sacred ordinances integral to the faith and reinforces the church’s focus on family and eternal relationships, as emphasized by President Dallin H. Oaks.

Marysville will be the seventh temple in Washington, complementing existing temples in Columbia River, Moses Lake, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver. The church’s presence in Washington dates back to the 1850s, with a notable growth following the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in the 1940s. Currently, the state boasts around 278,000 members across more than 470 congregations, reflecting a vibrant and growing community.

Details about the location and schedule for construction will be shared later, underscoring the church’s continued commitment to expanding access to its sacred spaces.
