Puget Creek

Puget Creek

Puget Creek is a small creek that runs through Puget Gardens Park in the north end of Tacoma, Washington. The creek is also occasionally referred to as Proctor Creek. Puget Creek is currently being restored by the community, which has hopes of bringing back regular runs of coho and chum salmon, as well as sea-run cutthroat trout.

Currently students at the 5-12 Learning Community are helping restore the Creek alongside other members of the community as part of a project called "Week Without Walls" where students get out of the daily in school routine and get out in the community to make a difference.----

Puget Creek is also a small creek in West Seattle, flowing into the Duwamish River from Puget Park on SW Dawson Street near 19th Avenue SW.
