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

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]
