Seattle Naval Hospital is a facility created during World War II in the city of Shoreline, Washington, for convalescing naval sailors in the Pacific Theater (World War II) of the war. In 1945 there were over 2000 patients and 600 staff members at the hospital[1]. After the war, the facility was converted into a Tuberculosis sanitorium (Firland Sanatorium) until 1973. Since then the location has been used by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services to house developmentally disabled adults.[2]
