Announcement of the Marysville Washington Temple
The Marysville Washington Temple was announced on April 19, 2026, in a letter from the First Presidency — Church President Dallin H. Oaks, with President Henry B. Eyring and President D. Todd Christofferson as counselors. Elder Hugo E. Martínez, a General Authority Seventy and second counselor in the United States West Area presidency, read the letter in a devotional for the Marysville Washington Stake.
Bishop Devon R. Kienzle said the Arlington Ward, especially the youth, had started a focused effort to pray for a temple in the Arlington area. “We promised the Lord to attend monthly and that we would change our hearts,” he said. Arlington is just outside Marysville and to the north.
Now the youth and other ward members are ecstatic, said Bishop Kienzle. “We know that the Lord has answered our prayers. He heard our pleas, and we believe He has accepted the efforts of our rising generation.”
