Temple progress

MOSES LAKE - Construction and beautification efforts at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have come a long way since the temple was first announced. The 20,000-square-foot Moses Lake Temple is built on 17 acres located on Yonezawa Boulevard, between Division Street and Road K NE. Behind the temple, from the point of view shown in this photo, is a new 17,000-square-foot meeting house. The gathering place for members of the Church was first announced in April 2019 and an open house at the temple will run from Aug. 4 through Aug. 19 with the exceptions of Aug. 6 and 13. The Church will dedicate the temple on Sept. 17 during two different sessions.
