Big Scandia Creek is a stream in Scandia, Washington. It has a length of 1.62 kilometers including its watershed. It has been known to be a salmon spawning area, and is one of the major creeks in the watershed of Liberty Bay. Summer-time measurements in 2010 revealed a temperature of about 13.5 degrees centigrade and was slightly alkaline – 7.8 pH. The water is mostly shaded but shallow. As a result of Big Scandia Creek's narrow and shallow form, it usually has many rapids and falls along its route. Little Scandia Creek is Big Scandia's sister (or twin) river. Big Scandia Creek is also the dominating and largest river in Scandia.
