Introduction
Covenant First Presbyterian Church is one of Seattle's oldest Christian congregations, founded in the late 19th century and witness to the city's growth from a frontier town to a major Pacific metropolis. The sanctuary is built in Romanesque Revival style with heavy sandstone walls, a wooden interior frame, and painted glass that together create a solemn yet warm atmosphere. As a flagship Presbyterian (PCA) congregation, it has long been a worship home for many of Seattle's civic founders and their families. The church preserves rich historical archives and artifacts while actively engaging contemporary social issues, seeking a balance between historic faith and modern values. Its bell tower and sanctuary are regularly open to the public, offering a rare window into Seattle's religious and civic history.
