Seattle Buddhist Church
Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple (built 1940–41) is a Japanese Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple in Seattle, Washington, USA, and a member of the Buddhist Churches of America.
Seattle Buddhist Church (2007)
Although it was designed by Japanese American Kichio Allen Arai,[1] the architect of record was Pierce A. Horrocks, because Arai lacked an architectural license.[2] It replaced an earlier Seattle Buddhist Church (built 1906–1908 by Saunders & Lawton, Charles W. Saunders and George Willis Lawton) that was torn down as part of the Yesler Terrace project.[3]
The building is a designated Seattle landmark.[4]
