Mahteen – Queen Anne – Seattle Public Utility employees found a sign near the creek when doing work at the waterway. Name may be a corruption of a local Native American word.
The outlet for this 2,000 ft long pipe [of Mahteen Creek] is in Lake Union, which salmon are known to use.

The upper section of Wolf Creek [Mahteen Creek] is a seasonal stream. The lower section Wolf Creek [Mahteen Creek] is a permanent stream and is currently mapped as type N (non-fish).
