One of the lovely and easier to find Seattle neighborhoods is that of Madison. A long, diagonal street NE of Downtown along Lake Washington. Click
here for map.
Jeremy and I used to come here on Sunday afternoons between our church's morning and evening services. There are great little coffee shops all along Madison, but we usually shared a latte at the
Essential Baking Company. I always like to admire their award winning pastries. There are some fun little shops to browse, our favorites being
City People's Garden Store,
Pharmaca and a beautiful home decor store with linens and dishes, I think it's Our Distinctive Home Shop. There are several eating choices ranging from casual cafes to sit down restaurants.
The neighborhood Starbucks is one of the few Black Label stores around
and home to CEO Howard Shultz.
The newly renovated neighborhood park.
Some unique play equipment with a space-age, modern feel.
I love the homey feel of this little corner of Seattle with towering trees
lining the streets, old homes to admire, nurtured gardens,
a relaxing drive along the BLVD and don't forget the Arboretum.
