34th Ave, Madrona

Madrona could be one of Seattle's best kept secrets. It is located just to the west of Lake Washington in between SR 520 and I-90. It is a relaxed, slower pace, little peaceable kingdom that is just full of ethnicity and a home grown feel. Walking along 34th street gives you a really good impression of Madrona. There are lots of local shops and eateries (small cafes) along the street. Here you can grab some lunch and take it with you to one of the many Madrona parks. Most of the walking trails in and around Madrona offer breathtaking views of Lake Washington.

Just around the cross of 34th Ave and S King Street there is a really lovely neighbor, with a surrounding area of a lot of trees and a good natural park. There are some really big houses there, which I guess are owned by the really rich people. This is area is near the lake as well. One thing I am not sure about this area is the people there. I used to be there for just once and caught people quarreling there for something about the noise. So there could be a really quiet place. Coins have two sides.....
