Seattle Buddhist Church

Seattle Buddhist Church (2007)

The Seattle Buddhist Church (built 1940–41) is a Japanese Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple in Seattle, Washington, USA. 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 (1906–1908, Charles W. Saunders & George Willis Lawton) that was torn down as part of the Yesler Terrace project.[3]

The building is a designated Seattle landmark.[4]
