Greenwood Masonic Lodge

This lodge building is one of the many local gems still operating in the same neighborhood since 1923 and in the same building since 1924. Many other local lodges also use this building for their meetings.The building is available to rent for weddings, receptions, classes, and other community activities. Rental spaces include a 1500 ft sq. dining area complete with a commercial kitchen. Upstairs the lodge's 2000 ft. sq. meeting room is also available for use. The decor is staid, but very user friendly. It's also handicapped accessable.One of the many lodges that meets here is St. Johns' #9 which has been working in Seattle since 1860. You'll find they're often in the background of such events as the Freemont fair, Seattle Youth symphony, Dr. Maynard's grave restoration, elementary school reading programs and a small project long ago... the location of the University of Washington here in Seattle. (The four columns by the HUB were carved by one of the brothers around 1869 - a guy named Denny.)Probably the most enjoyable and entertaining lodge that meets at Greenwood is Daylight Lodge 232. A lodge formed for entertainers and others who worked nights. They've been meeting in Seattle since 1920 and are still centered around the arts community. Look at their web page and you'll understand.

A really nice rental space in a Greenwood Avenue-facing location. The brick exterior hides the interior space, which is vast and extends to an unexpected and lovely ballroom.The ballroom also comes equipped with a kitchen for use during rentals. Chairs, rectangular/banquet and round tables are available for set up. A projector can be accessed and hooked up to a laptop for presentations, movies, videos, etc. It's quite an unassuming space from the outside, but definitely worth a look if you're on the search for a reasonably priced venue for a gathering of 100+ in the Greenwood neighborhood.

My husband and I just rented the dinning and kitchen area for our wedding reception. The space is absolutely beautiful, simply timeless. The price wasn't outrageous like all of the other venues we looked at around Seattle. Tom was amazing and very accommodating, even offering to let us rent his personal sound system. My lack of communication in the beginning caused some confusion with our date. Tom went extra out of his way to accommodate us and fix the mess up. The venue comes with all chairs, tables, and utensils- everything- down to clean up after. We had the best time and have zero complaints. I highly recommend this place for any party or celebration.

This is a great venue for a party or event for 100 people. My wife and I rented the space for an anniversary party and it was great. Tom was very accomodating, meeting us there several times to plan and work out the layout details. The best part is you get to bring in the food, wine, liquor, desserts that you want, without being restricted to using an overpriced, preapproved caterers list. All of the dishes, silverware, glasses, serving utensils (and someone to do the dishes), tables, chairs, coolers, ice and linens were included in the price. The space is really nice and they have a great sound system, big screen/hi def TV and small stage that was great for toasts and dancing children. This is a great space and very reasonable.
