On 900 Ash Street in Kelso, Lodge #1482 has built a reputation that shows up in its reviews again and again: hospitality you don't find many places anymore. Veterans drive across the county for the Saturday breakfast. Families book the hall for milestone events. RV travelers have pulled in for five-day stays and left feeling like regulars. That kind of welcome doesn't happen by accident.

The building itself is a landmark, spacious and well-kept, with room enough for a packed Toys for Tots bike party or a quiet weeknight dinner at the bar. The staff is genuinely friendly, the calendar is consistently full, and the lodge has been growing more active every season since reopening after the pandemic years. Rated 4.5 stars across 138 reviews, this is not a place coasting on nostalgia.

Lodge #1482 is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of the oldest and most active fraternal organizations in the United States. But the mission here is local: supporting Cowlitz County veterans, funding youth programs, and keeping a gathering place alive for the entire community.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts a rotating calendar of public and member events, from the popular weekend breakfast that draws veterans and community members alike, to private hall rentals for parties, fundraisers, and organizational meetings. The space is roomy enough for large groups and flexible enough for intimate gatherings.

RV parking is available on the property, making Lodge #1482 a rare find for traveling Elks members and road-trippers passing through the I-5 corridor between Portland and Seattle. The bar and lounge are open to members and eligible guests, offering a relaxed spot to connect after a long day.

Membership in the lodge unlocks access to Elks national benefits, local scholarship programs, veteran outreach initiatives, and a community of people who show up for each other. If you've been looking for a reason to get involved locally, this is a solid place to start.

"Had our toys for tots bike party here. It was a nice building. Always pleasant and roomy. I am unsure how much it costs to rent, but there is always something going on here. It's an older building, the decor is darker but it speaks history to time. Every organization has used this building to host some event in the past. Weyerhaeuser christmas parties in the 80s, birthday parties, Halloween parties exc. Veteran car shows. The parking lot is huge. It's a nice place."

The Order · Since 1868

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
