Seattle's first Jewish congregation established on July 25, 1889.

According to the title-linked article, Ohaveth Sholem Congregation was formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1889, built a synagogue in 1892 - and disbanded in 1895, fractured by financial difficulties and disagreements over the Reform movement versus traditional observance. There's a picture of the synagogue with the article.
