Quilceda Creek (also spelled Quil Ceda) drains an area of glacial plateau within and north of the City of Marysville in Snohomish County. The headwaters of the creek include a large number of agricultural ditches, part of historical wetland complexes, and drains through the Tulalip Tribes reservation, finally into to the lower reaches of the Snohomish Estuary.
