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.

Ill. Bro. Walter Breuning


The Supreme Architect has called Ill. Bro. Walter Breuning (Great Falls #118 - Montana AF&AM) home, after 114 years. He was an 85-yr Mason and the oldest living man in the world.

A myriad of stories about Walter are easily found on a variety of web sites. Here is the link to his Wikipedia entry, and a local story of his passing.

Walter, not too surprisingly, said a few years ago: "If you keep your mind busy and keep your body busy, you're going to be around a long time."
