The Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Church has established an Arson Restoration
Fund in response to the tragic fires that destroyed thousands of historical
archives and caused smoke and fire damage to the temple on New Year’s
Eve and Jan. 2.
“We appreciate any and all donations towards rebuilding our temple,” the
Seattle Betsuin stated in a message on the temple website. “If you are
unable to donate at this time, we understand and would appreciate if you
shared this with others. Thank you for your kindness as we navigate the
next chapter of our history.”

Donations can also be made via check. Please make checks payable to
“Seattle Buddhist Church” and include “Arson Restoration Fund” in the
memo line.
The address is: Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple, 1427 S. Main St.,
Seattle, WA 98144.

bricks and mortar.”
