History

edit

Woodland Creek took its name from Woodland, Washington, an early variant name of the city of Lacey, which in turn was named after Isaac Wood, an early settler.[2]

Recreation

edit

Woodland Creek Community Park in Lacey takes its name from the stream. A pedestrian bridge spans over the creek connecting the park to the Karen Fraser Woodland Trail.[3]
