From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

The temple was announced in August of 1998. During the open house one year later, 52,000 people toured the building. On August 21, 1999, President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Spokane Washington Temple with roughly 16,000 members attending eleven dedication sessions.

The Spokane Washington Temple is located in the Spokane suburb of Opportunity and serves about 32,000 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 blowing a trumpet. The temple has a total floor area of 10,700 square feet, two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
