The Firs

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.
