Greetings and Welcome to Ashler Lodge No. 121 Free and Accepted Masons of the Grand Lodge of Washington

Ashler Lodge No. 121 is a regular lodge under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington. It is, as all Masonic Lodges are, dedicated to making good men better, being a powerful force for good and peace in our society. We are men dedicated to our families, our community, our country, and the needs of our brothers.

A few notes to help you along if you are unfamiliar with Freemasonry. The word “Worshipful” is an old English word that means “deserving of respect”. The term “Worshipful Master” refers to the elected leader of the lodge. Think of the Master the same way you would a ship’s captain. 

The core tenants of our fraternity are those of Brotherly Love and Friendship. We strive to make good men better, while serving our communities. All Masons worship according to their own religions; we don’t offer salvation in any form. 

One thing that every man should know is that no one will ask you to join. We prefer that men be attracted to our fraternity and our lodge based on the work we do in the community and in our lodge rather than being asked to join. So, if you have been waiting for your father, brother, best friend, etc. to ask you to join, please go to them and simply ask: “How do I become a Mason?” If you don’t know a Mason to ask please call us or send us an e-mail.

Freemasons are charged to be amiable, discreet, and virtuous. It is said that when a man is a good Mason the world may know that he is one to whom the burdened heart may pour out its sorrow, to whom distress may prefer its suit, whose hand is guided by justice, and whose heart is expanded by benevolence. In plain language that means: We are the good guys.

If you are a Mason and are looking to visit Ashler No. 121 or are looking for a lodge please come and join us. I think you’ll like us. If you are a man 18 years of age or older and of good character please come and joins us. You’ll be happy you did.
