Masons in our community
We've been part of Cowlitz County from the start. Our oldest Lodge was formed before Washington became a state and our youngest is almost 100 years old.
In all those decades, we've been involved in many community events or groups. Here is a small sample.
Education
Seasonal events
Charitable groups
... And our members engage in many acts of private charity that few hear about.
At the state level, Washington Masonic Services is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington. Visit them here.
