Seattle Washington Temple

Yes they have escalators and elevators

Yes

When a new temple is built they have open houses before the dedication of the temple where anyone who is interested is welcome to tour it.

No they don't, but they have an awesome family history center

Yes, he's a real person who lived during the time of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and an influential church leader from approximately 1820, until he died as a martyr in 1844. He lived his life loving and serving the Lord and others as a prophet.

There is actually a church building of the same faith that shares the parking lot, it's a little behind it. There's at least one congregation that meets there around noon on Sunday, and while you could talk to anyone there (and anyone can just walk right in) the best person to talk to in this case would be the bishop. Just ask people to point you to him and he'll be more than happy to talk to you all about it and any other questions you might have.

The next one it looks like is on Saturday, June 15th, at 3 pm. (You can check the schedule from within the Tools app.)

We visited during the day, and the gates were open.

Yes there are several hotels very close by and many in downtown Bellevue which is just a short drive away

Call the temple

They close at 10pm. Opening hours depend on the day. 7am is normal.

I agree with Craig. Walking the grounds is beautiful and peaceful.

By appointment, yes. Talk to your ward temple coordinator to plan a visit.

The Quincy Washington chapel is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays for family history with knowledgeable assistants if you need them

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must 'be of good standing' with the church. This requires full activity in the church and a sanctioned Temple recommend issued thorough local church leaders.

The temple accommodates all of the members in the Puget sound area. The temple will often host Stake temple days and many simultaneous weddings with all of their guests. The temple parking grounds will also serve as overflow parking for the Stake center building next door.

Only for living ordinances.

Yes, but the Temple will be closed starting Feb 11 for a while I think a month but not sure

About an hour and a half give or take 10 more minutes.

Last session starts at 8 p.m.

Until Nov. 23

Unfortunately no, you're welcome to have photographs taken on the garden grounds but you may not enter the building without a temple recommend, and your clothing should be modest (no strapless wedding dresses, etc.)

First Session is at 8am.
