St. John's Lodge Number 9 is a fraternal organization of men who
are working to better themselves through Freemasonry. As Brothers, we work to subdue our
passions, but are passionate about the good work we do in our community.
We try to act in a diligent, prudent, temperate, and discrete manner in the
discharge of our duties, but have as much fun as possible when we are together.
Want to read a good book? Take a look through the book database, pick one out and then e-mail the webmaster with the book title. He will bring the book to the next Stated Communication and you bring it back at the following Stated. This service is for active members of the Lodge.
Driving directions to St. John's Lodge No. 9 are found here.
This link is a pop-up.
Memorials for departed Brethren for Lodge year 2010 are found here. No brother should ever go beyond the veil without remembrance from his brothers.
Other memorials, according to the Lodge year (since 2001), are found in the archives section of this site.
To learn about what Freemasonry is and what has been its history, read the articles listed in our Articles Section.
There
are many stories which have been written to help the Freemason grow as
a Freemason. An excellent collection of these is found in our Masonic Stories Section.
Our Vision:
“ St. John's Lodge No. 9 will be a recognized Masonic leader in personal growth through association, ritual excellence, education, and charity.”

St.
John's Lodge No. 9 is the State of Washington's sixth oldest
corporation. Chartered on September 4th, 1860 and receiving articles of
incorporation on January 24th, 1861 by act of the Territorial
Legislature we have been in continuous existence in the City of Seattle
since that time. We have worked to make better men of ourselves and to
help the community around us.
Secretary of State Sam Reed awarded St. John's Lodge No. 9 the
Washington State Sesquitennial Celebration certificate of Territorial
Corporation seen above. For one hundred fifty years we have worked
and seen our city grow from a frontier settlement to the thriving
metropolis it is today. The work continues and as things evolve and
change we strive to evolve and change to meet the needs of our
community.
As we work into the twenty first century we would encourage those men
over the age of 18 years who would like to be part of an organization
that is based on moral values and which works together to better the
world around us to consider joining Freemasonry and our Lodge in
particular.
