About Us

St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church has its beginnings in Seattle in 1894. The former church structure was demolished in 1995 to make way for the new REI Flagship store. The present St. Demetrios Church was completed in 1962 and dedicated on March 31, 1963. It was designed by Paul Thiry, one of the principal architects of the Seattle Worlds Fair in 1962. St. Demetrios works within our community and in the greater Seattle area .
