Washington State Elks Association
From Bellingham to Walla Walla, Colville to Vancouver—in 35 communities across our state—Elks are making a profound impact. For over 130 years, Washington Elks have been standing tall and providing medical assistance to children, supporting our veterans, giving scholarships to students in our communities, and more.
The Washington State Elks Association is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, the country’s premiere charitable and patriotic organization. Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course, or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.
