Coordinates: 47°35′2.651999″N 122°8′27.15360″W / 47.58406999972, -122.140876 The Seattle Washington Temple (formerly the Seattle Temple) is the 21st constructed and 19th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in the city of Bellevue, Washington it has a modern single-spire design. Due to its proximity to the Bellevue Airfield, the proposed height of the spire was reduced, and a red strobe warning light was installed at the base of the angel Moroni statue.¹ In 1983 the Bellevue Airfield closed, and the light was shut off.
