St. Thomas the Apostle Seminary was established in 1958 by Archbishop Thomas A. Connolly, in response to the growing number of students entering St. Edward's Seminary. It was located a quarter mile east of St. Edward’s, on the 350-acre Lake Washington campus. Designed by architect John Maloney, St. Thomas’ served as the major seminary for the Pacific Northwest. In 1977, St. Thomas' Seminary was closed due to a decline in enrollment. The St. Edward campus is now St. Edward’s State Park, and the St. Thomas facility is now owned by Bastyr University. |
