Denny Park Lutheran Church (Seattle, Wash.)

Established on April 19, 1888, this congregation began as the Norwegian Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church and held services in a Swedish church located between 3rd and Pike. The congregation erected its first church at the corner of 4th Avenue and Pine. This was subsequently sold in 1904 and a new church was built on the corner of 5th and Wall. The Denny Regrade project forced a change and in 1912 a new church was erected at Boren and Virginia, and the name was called, “The First Norwegian Lutheran Church.” In 1939 the present sanctuary was erected, and the name was changed to “Denny Park Lutheran Church” in 1945. The ALC North Pacific District Headquarters offices are located in the youth/education building of this congregation.
