United in Knowledge, Strengthened by Brotherhood
The Scottish Rite of Bellingham is more than just a continuation of Freemasonry—it is a gathering of men dedicated to self-improvement, mutual support, and service to our community. Through our progressive degrees, we challenge Masons to think critically, reflect on their values, and grow as leaders both inside and outside the lodge. Our mission is to provide an environment where members can explore the deeper meanings of Freemasonry while forming lifelong bonds with their brethren.
We believe that Masonry extends beyond the walls of the lodge and into the world. That’s why the Scottish Rite actively engages in charitable and educational efforts that uplift those in need and enrich the lives of others. Through scholarships, outreach programs, and community service, we live by the principles of Freemasonry—making a tangible difference in the lives of our members and the community around us.

Honoring the Valley of Bellingham
For decades, the Valley of Bellingham has been a cornerstone of Scottish Rite Masonry in the Pacific Northwest, offering Masons a place to expand their understanding of the Craft and forge lasting connections. Our history is one of dedication to the principles of Freemasonry, where generations of men have come together to seek wisdom, strengthen their moral character, and uphold the bonds of brotherhood. Through times of change and growth, our Valley has remained steadfast in its commitment to the Masonic journey.
Beyond the degrees and rituals, the Valley of Bellingham has always been an active part of the greater community. Through outreach, education, and charitable initiatives, we have lived out the Scottish Rite’s mission of service and enlightenment. Today, we continue that tradition, ensuring that the values of Masonry endure for the benefit of both our members and the world around us.
