French Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington.[1] It is a tributary of Snohomish River.
A share of the early settlers being of French Canadian descent caused the name to be selected.[2]
Another French Creek is located within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, and is home to wilderness hiking trails.[3]
