 Over the past eleven years, Friends of Madrona Woods have teamed up with the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation to turn this nine-acre urban forest into a welcoming place for people and wildlife and to encourage its return to a more natural and sustainable state. |

Daylighting - A Stream Runs Through It |
A spring-fed stream now flows through the Spring Street Ravine, under Lake Washington Boulevard, through Madrona Park’s restored natural area and into Lake Washington at a newly created wetland cove. Connecting the creek in the steep ravine above Madrona Woods with a culvert under 38th Avenue will add two thirds to the flow, hopefully in the fall of 2008. Salmon are likely to find Madrona Park Creek too small for spawning, but their young can rest under sheltering shrubs in the quiet cove or several small pools and feed on the nutrients brought down by the stream before continuing on their way up Lake Washington and out to the Sound.
