Puget Sound Mental Hospital

Washington · USA · Hospital

The psychiatric hospital at Tacoma, Washington is an enormous institution that also treats addiction, and only part of it is in use.

The rest of the eight storey complex is dark. Some of it is storage. Some is shut off as unsafe.

Every building on the site produces reports, and they come from staff as much as from anyone else.

This entry asks for care. State psychiatric hospitals in the United States held tens of thousands of people for decades under conditions that were frequently degrading and sometimes worse, and the treatments applied in the middle of the twentieth century did lasting harm to people who had no say in them. Many died in these institutions and were buried on the grounds under numbers rather than names.

That is the history behind what people report here, and the people it happened to were patients rather than characters.

The hospital is active and closed to visitors.
