Port Angeles couple welcomes first baby of 2025

Phoebe Homan joins 7-year-old brother

PORT ANGELES — Angel Beadle and David Homan welcomed their daughter to the world at 3:05 p.m. on Wednesday.

Phoebe Homan, the first child born on the North Olympic Peninsula in 2025, weighed 7 pounds and 5 ounces. She was born at Olympic Medical Center (OMC) in Port Angeles.

“Phoebe has been quite happy and healthy as far as we can tell,” David said.

OMC confirmed that for the couple, he added.

Phoebe’s birth was definitely a profound experience, David said.

“Unfortunately, there’s not a lot I can really say,” David reflected. “It’s hard to put into words.”

Welcoming Phoebe to the world is “very exciting,” Beadle said.

Homan and Beadle, both 24, have been committed to each other for the last five years, David said. They were both born and raised in Port Angeles.

Both attended Port Angeles schools. David graduated from Port Angeles High School.

Phoebe is Beadle’s second child. Her son Jesse Beadle-Hedman is 7, she said. He was excited to meet his new sister, Beadle said.

David said that since his daughter was born, Beadle-Hedman has been the most quiet and polite he has ever seen him.

Phoebe’s due date was Jan. 7, David said.

“We were largely independent, but I do appreciate the grandparents of the child helping donate to the cause,” David said.

The family was resting Thursday and acquainting themselves with Phoebe at OMC.

“We will be home in the next few days at the very latest,” David said.
