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.^[3] When completed, it will be the sixth temple built in Washington, and the second in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.^[4]

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.^[5]^[6]

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.^[7] The church announced the temple would be multistory and approximately 43,000 square feet.^[8] 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.^[9]
