Overview

The construction of a tuberculosis sanitarium on 20 acres on the west side of Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood was floated in 1909, but neighbors quashed the idea of having such a concentrated presence of this dreaded disease nearby to residential neighborhoods. (See Paula Becker, "Influential citizens found the Anti-Tuberculosis League of King County on February 15, 1909," HistoryLink.org, published 07/29/2002, accessed 05/07/2026.) By 12/1909, another site on the east side of Lake Washignton was also announced, although this site, too, was never completed.
