Pipers Creek

Pipers Creek
Pipers Creek in Carkeek Park

Pipers Creek is a 1.4-mile (2.3 km)[1] urban 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 Creek and Mohlendorph Creek. 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).[2]

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.
