Congregation Kol Ami
Congregation Kol Ami was the first standalone synagogue to be built in southwest Washington. The building was conceived as a procession from the secular world to the spiritual realm, beginning in the parking area, through a landscaped courtyard and culminating in a 200-seat sanctuary, holding the Torah Ark as well as views across surrounding wetlands and farms to Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams and Mount Hood.
