Lodge 7 was established in 1995 with the swearing in of 15 Kennewick Police Officers. Membership quickly grew with officers from all local Tri-Cities agencies signing up, making the lodge the largest in Washington State. Lodge 7 played a vital role in setting up Washington’s State Lodge and hosted the first bi-annual state conference.
Over the years, Lodge 7 has assisted officers and their families in times of need due to death, injury or illness. Lodge members have also donated hundreds of hours of their time assisting citizens who were also in need of help. Lodge 7 is a strong supporter of youth programs through out the Tri-Cities region as well as being involved in Special Olympics, Cops & Kids and visiting children in local hospitals on Christmas morning.
Lodge 7 is committed to helping officers within the state and region as well as members of the community
