SEATTLE — A Sultan man, 52, who was stabbed by his neighbor Wednesday remains at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The man was listed Thursday in satisfactory condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The suspect, a 54-year-old Sultan woman, was booked into Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault. Bail on Thursday was set at $75,000.

Police allege that the two got into an argument. They were neighbors in a makeshift camp of tents, trailers and motorhomes along 132nd Street SE.

Witnesses said the argument involved the suspect and victim allegedly stealing each other’s property, including some keys and a bicycle.
