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.

WB Vernon Briggs has passed on


WB Vernon Briggs, Honorary Past Master of Harmony #18, passed on to the Celestial Lodge this week, at the age of 89. His wife of more than 60 years, Evelyn, and his children, were by his side at home.

A celebration of Vernon's life is scheduled at the Olympia Masonic Center:

Saturday, June 12th - 2 p.m.

There is no formal Masonic service planned at this time but all Brothers are welcome. Wear your aprons!

WB Vernon was Treasurer for Harmony #18 from 1994-1998 and had been a Mason since 1969. He will truly be missed as a generous and sweet soul.

Please keep Evelyn and Vernon's large and loving family in your thoughts.
