First Presidency Announces Temple for Marysville, Washington

The move reflects President Dallin H. Oaks’ shift to making temple announcements in local districts.

Overview

  • Marysville Latter-day Saints learned Sunday night, as Elder Hugo E. Martínez read a First Presidency letter at a stake devotional, that a temple will be built in their city.
  • The letter said the church will announce the exact site and the construction timeline later, and it said the temple will help members reach sacred ordinances more often.
  • The Marysville temple will be the seventh Latter-day Saint temple in Washington.
  • This is the second temple announced since Dallin H. Oaks became church president in October 2025.
  • The church reports 214 operating temples worldwide and plans for another 170, with many in planning or construction.
