- The Pilchuck River (Lushootseed: dxʷkʷiƛ̕əb) is a river in Snohomish County in the U.S. state of Washington. It is a tributary of the Snohomish River. The name is derived from the Chinook Jargon pilpil (“blood”, “red”) and chuck (“water”), or “red water”. The Lushootseed name means “flowing red,” kʷiƛ̕ being an archaic term for “red” in Northern Lushootseed.
Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
Luke 6:22 NIV
