Swamp Creek is a tributary of the Sammamish River in Snohomish and King counties, in the U.S. state of Washington. It is also known as dxʷɬ(ə)q̓ab in Lushootseed, meaning "a wide place".[4]
Swamp Creek starts at Lake Stickney near Everett. It ends in Kenmore at the Sammamish River, which then flows into Lake Washington.
