According to http://www.onioncreekstore.com/index.html  Onion Creek was settled by farmers and loggers in the late 1800's. Relatives of the families that settled here are still living in the area today. The town of   Northport, WA,  13 miles to the north, was a mining boom town. At that time it was a long dirt road from county seat in Colville to the town of Standard (the original name of Onion Creek.) There are no signs of Standard anymore, and the town of Northport has a population of 321. Onion Creek School and Onion Creek General Store are the remaining 'businesses' in Onion Creek.
Community spirit is strong in Onion Creek. Community volunteers built a playground in the park next to the store. Halloween dinner and treats is an annual free event for the children here. Every child in Onion Creek from babies to High School seniors receive a holiday stocking, handmade and filled by caring community members. The Northport food bank  receives generous donations from many people here even if they may be economically disadvantaged. And it is rare to be passed on the roadway if you appear to need a ride.
The original Onion Creek store was built in the late 1970's when a new group of pioneers settled the area. These people set out to build their own log homes and lived off the land, a kind of green movement.

Onion Creek became notorious when a strain of marijuana grown in the area was featured in  High Times Magazine.   The reputation lives on, and helicopters still fly every summer looking for crops. Most of the gardens in Onion Creek  contain vegetables though, and garlic is a popular crop, too.
There are many artistic  and  creative people who live here. The pioneer spirit is still evident too, as there are many people building their own homes, powering with solar, living green  and living off the grid.

 Onion Creek School is an award winning school teaching  preschool through eighth grade. Class sizes are small and personal attention is given to every student. Students have  unique opportunities such as cross country skiing lessons and a school garden. Some classes are still held in the original 1917 school building.  There is no finer educational experience than that of the students at Onion Creek.
