Mount Vernon Elks Lodge 1604,

2120 Market Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98273

"Nice group of locals who care about community. Line dancing weekly..."

"This is a very nice and active lodge. In addition to greeting us and hosting our party of two coaches they also were gracious enough to accommodate us an extra day to take care of a repair. Very nice and very friendly."

"Great place to spend some time. It’s central to stores and close to anywhere you want to go to sight see. Sue is a great camp host and too good care of us. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re in the area."

".Walked in dressed to go to their dance... before I could say anything, a chubby older woman with long gray hair asked if I was a member. I said, No, I am not... but before I could say anything more she came right back and said, you can not come in if you're not a member. ...then I replied, well, I do have three members who said they would sponsor me, but if that's what you want to tell me, then I will leave. Well, I left, knowing that I would see those members that invited me later at another dance location. Since I have been to many Elks clubs in Puget Sound, and they are always glad to sponsor dance groups, this was a surprise... She didn't say, Can I help you? or Welcome, or Do you know a member? Nope. How do they expect people to join with an attitude like that???"

"Stopped in one night and there was a "Country Jim" singing in the lounge there and the dance floor was completely full. We only stopped in for a drink and ended up staying all night! Had a GREAT time dancing and absolutely loved his music!"
