PIPERS CREEK

(Redirected from Piper\'s Creek)

'Pipers Creek' is a stream in the Broadview and Blue Ridge neighborhoods of Seattle, Washington, whose entire length is within the boundaries of Carkeek Park. Its tributaries are Venema and Mohlendorph Creeks. It empties into Puget Sound. The creek was renamed "Piper's" by early White settler A. W. Piper, but the name has largely become "Pipers". The Duwamish called the creek "Dropped Down" (Lushootseed: qWátub).^[1]
Daylighted 'Mohlendorph Creek' is mostly within the boundaries of Carkeek Park. It receives Venema Creek and empties into Pipers Creek near the mouth on Puget Sound.
Most of daylighthed 'Venema Creek' is within Carkeek Park. It empties into Mohlendorph Creek, just west of the Carkeek Park Environmental Education Center.
