Lockes Welcome Third Child to Family

SEATTLE – Nov. 6, 2004 – Gov. Gary Locke and First Lady Mona Lee Locke are the proud parents of a third child – a baby girl – born today at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle at 4:40 a.m.

The governor reported that Mrs. Locke feels fine, and that the baby is healthy.

Her name is Madeline Lee Locke. She weighed 7 lbs., 5 oz. at birth.

Like her two previous pregnancies, Mrs. Locke delivered the baby early. Her due date was Nov. 10.

“Mona and I are thrilled to welcome a third child to our family,” Locke said. “Emily and Dylan are very excited about their baby sister! We appreciate the interest and best wishes of everyone who has contacted us.”

The Lockes have two other children: Emily, age 7, and Dylan, age 5.

This is the first time in Washington state history that a governor and first lady have had three children born while in office.
