A 10-year-old boy who was reportedly missing in Port Angeles has been found safe.

According to a news release from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, on Tuesday around 4 p.m., the boy was playing with friends and had not returned home to take his medication. Deputies learned he was medically challenged and launched a search.

The boy was found Wednesday afternoon in a dollhouse on the front porch of the home. The sheriff’s office said it is believed the boy was hiding from search teams as the dollhouse had been searched several times before he was found. Law enforcement previously reported that the boy ran off into the woods.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office paired itself with several other law enforcement agencies in neighboring counties in its search, along with 44 volunteers.
