Port Townsend — A coyote wandered into Jefferson Healthcare Center in Port Townsend Tuesday morning, according to a report from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The animal entered the hospital through the facility’s automatic doors, ran down a hallway and broke through a glass panel trying to get out.

It eventually tried to hide in a corner of the hospital’s outdoor courtyard.

No one was harmed, but the coyote injured itself from breaking the glass and had cuts on its snout, said Detective Sergeant Brett Anglin.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Port Townsend Police Department, and Center Valley Animal Rescue were called to the scene shortly after the animal was spotted.

Animal Control Deputy Erik Allen of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office caught the coyote with a net before it was sedated.

Around 11:30 a.m., the coyote was taken to the animal rescue’s veterinarian to treat its injuries.
