From Mat’s trips
A feel for Madison Park, Leschi & Madrona
Madison Park, Leschi and Madrona share Lake Washington, steep terrain and residential streets. Think of a shoreline-oriented half-day, with one place to walk and one place to eat.
Madison Street is a useful mental line from the central city toward the lake. Choose the beach or waterfront stretch first, then build around it instead of trying to cover all three neighborhoods.
