Saint Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral is a cathedral of the Orthodox Church of America in the Cascade neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States.[1]

Founded in 1895, the cathedral's multi-ethnic congregation has its roots in an Orthodox mission to Alaska in the 18th Century.[2] The present church dates from 1941, designed by Ivan Palmaw in 1931.[3][4] The church's patron saint is Saint Spyridon.
