About us

Freemasonry is more than just a group of men getting together once or twice a month to have fun. It’s more than a service organization out trying to do good things. The goal of freemasonry is to take good men and make them better: 

Better Fathers.
Better Husbands
Better Civic Leaders
Better Employers
Better Teachers

To make them better men.

Freemasonry is focused on taking men of good moral character and introducing them to a community of like-minded, community focused brothers with whom they can build a common bond and work to improve the lives of those around them.

The history of freemasonry in the state of Washington is deep and broad. Our Grand Lodge was founded in 1858 and many of our state leaders have been members of this great fraternity.

I encourage you to reach out to us if you are interested in learning more about our great brotherhood and seeing if Freemasonry at Longview Lodge #263 is the right fit for you.

With Fraternal Regards ~

Worshipful Master Craig Smith
