How to Join the Elks
Have you already been initiated as an Elk?
If you’re a member of a different lodge, you can transfer your membership to our Puyallup Lodge. If your membership has lapsed, you can apply for reinstatement.
Why Join the Elks?
When you’re an Elk, you’re part of a nationwide fellowship of friends. You always have a friendly place to go – the Lodge is your home away from home.
You’ll meet plenty of new people, and you can bring your old friends in to be part of the organization.
Elks are known for having fun, but we’re also serious about serving our communities. We’re proud to be Americans. We support our veterans, our youth, and children with disabilities, as well as other service projects.
Share a meal, have a drink, and plan the next way to better your community and country.
