The Vancouver Washington Temple is a planned temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be built on the border of Vancouver and Camas, Washington. When completed, it will be the sixth temple built in Washington, and the second in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.
History
The intent to construct a temple was announced by church president Russell M. Nelson on October 1, 2023, during the church's general conference.
The location of the temple, on a 15.11 acre site at SE 20th Street and SE Bybee Road, which straddles the border of Camas and Vancouver, was announced on February 26, 2024. The church announced the temple would be multistory and approximately 43,000 square feet. The site is located in a primarily undeveloped area about 1/3 mile from a residential area.
On September 3, 2024, the church released a rendering of the temple.
