A newborn baby boy found alive in an Everett dumpster Friday night is in stable condition, officials report.
At about 8:20 p.m. on Friday a passerby called 911 to report hearing crying from a dumpster in the 800 block of 112th Southeast.
The newborn was taken to the hospital. He was in stable condition at Providence Medical Center in Everett, as of Saturday afternoon.
KIRO 7’s Joanna Small reported that the man whose girlfriend found baby said the child’s umbilical cord was still attached. Witnesses told Small the baby had clearly just been born — covered in blood, naked and crying.
Authorities have not found the baby’s biological parents but are investigating.
The baby is expected to survive.
