Madison Park, Seattle, Washington
- Madison Park, Seattle, Washington
Madison Park is a neighborhood in east central Seattle, Washington, USA, named after the city park at the foot of E. Madison Street on the Lake Washington shore. It is bounded on the east by Lake Washington; on the south by E. Prospect Street, beyond which is Denny-Blaine; on the west by 38th and 37th Avenues E., beyond which are Washington Park and the private Broadmoor community and golf course; and on the north by Union Bay.
The neighborhood's main thoroughfares are E. Madison Street (northeast- and southwest-bound) and McGilvra Boulevard E. (north- and southbound).
Madison Park used to be a popular destination for people who lived in Downtown Seattle. Though very close to the city center, it was seen as a summer getaway, with a cable car leading over the hills to the lake, park, and swimming beach.
Today Madison Park has a number of restaurants, including Sostanza (Italian), The Attic Alehouse, Mad Pizza, Madison Park Bakery, Cactus (Mexican and Southwestern food), and Bing's (American fare, family-friendly).
It also has a number of shops, including Madison Hardware, Tina's on Madison, and Bert's Red Apple Grocery. There are also branches of Washington Mutual, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Starbucks, and Tully's.
Madison Park's Pioneer Hall (also known as Washington Pioneer Hall) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #70000645.
