SEATTLE — A 9-year-old Stevens County girl hospitalized Saturday after being attacked by a cougar is in stable condition, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Her mother said her recovery so far has been “amazing.”
Lily A. Kryzhanivskyy was playing hide-and-seek with two friends in the woods in Fruitland, Stevens County, where she had been attending camp. When she jumped out to surprise her friends, the cougar attacked suddenly, WDFW said in a statement.
She was released from the intensive-care unit on Monday.
