Ellis Creek (Budd Inlet tributary)

Ellis Creek is a small stream located in Thurston County, Washington, United States. It is a tributary of Budd Inlet, an arm of Puget Sound. The creek's watershed is primarily forested and includes some residential development. Ellis Creek provides habitat for salmonids, including coho salmon and cutthroat trout. Water quality in the creek is a concern due to stormwater runoff and other sources of pollution. Efforts are underway to improve water quality and restore habitat in the Ellis Creek watershed.
