<p>Saint Mark's Episcopal Church was founded in 1889 to meet the needs of a growing Seattle population. The first church was built in 1890 at 5th Avenue and Stewart Street, in downtown Seattle. By 1897 moved into a new building at Seneca and Broadway on First Hill. In  1923 land was purchased on Tenth Avenue East. In 1926, Saint Mark's was designated to be the Cathedral of this Diocese, and in 1931 construction was completed on the current building.
