Swedish/Edmonds is celebrating the 60,000th baby born at its hospital.

The proud parents of baby Zoë are Sarah and James Wagner of Lynnwood.

Zoë weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces at birth and was delivered by Dr. Randolph Bourne.

“Sixty thousand is a lot of babies when you stop and think about it – that’s nearly the combined populations of Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace,” said Joyce Miller, manager of the Childbirth Center at Swedish/Edmonds.

The hospital, formerly known as Stevens Hospital, opened in 1964.
