Katia Ramos Tejeda Mariscal was the first baby born at Kirkland’s Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in 2011. The 7-pound, 4-ounce girl, daughter of Cinthia Ramos Tejeda and Apolonio Mariscal of Bothell, arrived at 6:39 a.m. Jan. 1. She was 19.25 inches long. The baby was due Jan. 3.

Katia is the couple’s third child. She joins a sister, Karla, 7, and a brother, Carlos, 4. Karla is a first-grader at Woodmoor Elementary and Carlos attends preschool at Hollywood Hill Elementary.

“We knew she was a girl, but were surprised she came early,” said Cinthia through an interpreter.
