Category Archives: Madison Park

Madison Park is a Seattle neighborhood located along the shores of Lake Washington, just south of the 520 Bridge. “Madison Park” is generally applied to a larger area than what is technically considered the neighborhood. Madison Park hosts a vibrant “small town” commercial district as well as a fabulous residential area. Both Washington Park and Broadmoor neighborhoods are in close vicinity of Madison Park. In fact, both Washington Park and Denny Blaine are between Madrona and Madison Park, yet the Madrona and Madison Park business districts are within 2 miles of each other.
