Shon—
There was more than one TB sanitarium in the Seattle area, including what is now the satellite campus of Highline Community Hospital, which was known as Riverton General Hospital between its stint as TB sanitarium and Highline's satellite campus.
Just from looking at what is now the Fauntleroy Community Center, I'd say that building is a good candidate.Try talking with folks at Seattle-King County Public Health Department, and maybe the Seattle-Area chapter of the American Lung Association.
About 15 years ago, I found some of the city directories in the Northwest Room in Suzzalo Library at the University of Washington.Try there, too.
The Vashon Ferry has been in that same general location practically forever.I would try contacting Paul Dorpat, author of SEATTLE NOW AND THEN.He may have some of the info you're looking for.
Good luck!
