Who are the Masons?

Masons in Olympia, Tumwater and Lacey congregate at Harmony Lodge #18, the friendliest Lodge in Thurston County, WA. Our Lodge includes a broad cross-section of the community and we welcome men over the age of 18 who want to improve themselves by associating with like-minded peers. Our membership is distributed fairly evenly across age groups and by profession, although because of the proximity to Fort Lewis (JBLM), many of our members are active duty military or veterans.

The Masonic Fraternity is the oldest Fraternity in the world. The Masonic Family includes Masons as well as organizations for their ladies, couples, and youth.

The Masonic Family provides more than $2 million a day to charitable activities such as hospitals, youth scholarship, and those less fortunate than we.

To inquire about Masonry, contact our Secretary.

VWB Jack Parker (1924-2011)

With heavy heart and tears in my eyes, I regret to inform you that VWB Jack C. Parker has been called home, at long last. I cannot say it was untimely for certainly he lived a long and full life. Jack was my friend, my Brother, my mentor through the degrees and my mentor in learning the funeral/memorial services.

Jack was, I believe, a three-time Past Master of Grays Harbor #52 and a past DDGM of district #16, among other things. He was a 60-year Mason, preceded in death by his wife, Peggy, in 2008.

I will put out information about his services once we know more.

Jack - you are loved and missed. I am fortunate to have known you.

- Brian Morgan, Harmony #18 Secretary
