About Madrona Woods
ImageMadrona Woods is a 9.2-acre hillside in the city-owned Madrona Park near Lake Washington, due east of downtown Seattle.  It is named both for the city neighborhood in which it located and for the Pacific madrona trees which grow on the site.  Its eastern boundary is Lake Washington Boulevard and its western boundary is 38th Avenue. It stretches from Spring Street on the north to Columbia Street on the south.

Directions to Work Parties

Our work parties meet at the entry at the intersection of Grand Ave and E Spring St. For a google map of this location, click here . The easiest way to get to this entrance by car is to park on Lake Washington Blvd, then walk up the stairway and the sidewalk to Grand Ave. As you walk up this sidewalk, you'll see the recently dug creek channel and our most recent restoration work on your left.

To get the the woods, there are entrances at:

38th & Marion, 38th & Columbia, Spring & Grand, and Lake Washington Boulevard across from the Madrona Dance Studio.
