The former Firlands Sanitarium, called "The Pines" in Betty's book. Firland is now owned by Crista Minstries in Shoreline, WA. Betty wrote in The Plague and I, "We entered The Pines by a long, poplar-lined drive. On either side were great vine-covered Tudor buildings, rolling lawns, greenhouses and magnificent gardens. It might have been any small endowed college except that there were no laughing groups strolling under the trees."
