The Konko Kyo organization has been in Seattle since 1919 and in 1926, "Mamichi Kai" was founded to organize the weekly religious meeting. Two years later, in 1928, the Konko Church of Seattle was started as the first official temple of the Konko Kyo in the United States. Shown above is the current church at 1713 Main Street.
