The Firs

426 Lilly Rd Ne, Olympia, WA 98506
Overview of The Firs

The Firs has been running for 43 years on Lilly Road NE in Olympia, Washington, making it one of the longer-established communities in the area. The three-story building sits in a lakeside neighborhood about four miles from downtown, and Providence St. Peter Hospital is less than a third of a mile away. That proximity to a hospital reads as useful context for a community that carries a nursing home designation alongside its independent living offering.

The building holds studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Daily support services include housekeeping, laundry, dry-cleaning, and help with grocery shopping. For residents who need or want more hands-on coverage, the nursing home component of the community sits in close range of both the hospital and the surrounding neighborhood’s parks and walking paths, though with a Walk Score of 37, most errands are going to require a car or a ride.

Ms. Susan Crow serves as General Manager. What is established is a long-operating, mixed-level facility in a quieter corner of Olympia, close enough to a major hospital to matter.
