LAKE STEVENS — The search for a river otter that attacked an 8-year-old boy and his grandmother continued Friday afternoon, a day after they were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The two were attacked Thursday morning while playing at the Pilchuck River near Lake Connor Park in Lake Stevens. It wasn’t the first otter attack on the Pilchuck this summer. The injured boy, Bryce Moser, was in stable condition Friday evening at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, a hospital spokeswoman said. The boy’s grandmother has undergone at least four surgeries, said Dean Springer, her brotherin-law. One of her eyes was seriously injured in the attack. Springer’s daughter witnessed the attack. He got a frantic phone call from her Thursday morning. By the time he arrived at the river, his sister-in-law was crouched on the ground with gauze over her eye. His daughter told Springer that the boy was sitting on a rope swing with his legs dangling in the river when the otter lunged up, grabbed him and pulled him into the water.
