The Spokane Washington Temple is the 59th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The temple was announced in August 1998. During the open house one year later, 52,000 people toured the building. On August 21, 1999, President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Spokane Washington Temple with roughly 16,000 members attending 11 dedication sessions.

The Spokane Washington Temple is located in the Veradale suburb of Spokane, Washington and serves about 50,000 LDS church members in eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana. Its design includes gray granite walls, art glass windows, and a lone spire topped by a golden angel Moroni blowing a trumpet. The temple has a total floor area of 10,700 square feet (990 m²), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
