The First Church of the Nazarene Wurlitzer was originally installed in Seattle's famous Liberty Theatre. It was the first outstanding theatre organ built by Wurlitzer, and the one credited with bringing immense success to the firm.
 
The theatre was razed in 1955 and the Wurlitzer was moved to the gymnasium of Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland Washington near Tacoma. The organ sold for $1,500.00. The instrument remained at the university until 1973 when it was moved to its current home.
