While touring the grounds of the Seattle Temple we stopped to visit with the security man who told us a story.
The Church bought the 28-acre site hoping to build a temple, but the city of Bellevue was reluctant to issue the permits that would be necessary. No help was forthcoming, and the temple’s construction was in doubt. Meanwhile the Church resurveyed the property—more than once. It was found that the city’s fire station was six inches over the line on the Church’s property.
