Spring is in the air! The Friends of Madison Park volunteers have been hard at work planning events and advocating for our neighborhood amidst the ongoing One Seattle Plan discussions, and Madison Park’s official appeal to the One Seattle Plan is now before the city examiner. Among other actions taken, the Friends of Madison Park has updated the proposed One Seattle Plan for Madison Park with adjusted boundaries and zone designations for several residential blocks, and have shared this with city representatives. Feedback (pro, con or neutral) is much appreciated, so please submit opinions in writing to City Council representative Joy Hollingsworth, the Office of Planning and Community Development, and/or the Mayor’s Office. Visit the Friends of Madison Park website for email templates and more information on how to make your voice heard.
Spring Clean Day: Please join us on Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. until noon to help clean and beautify our community spaces. Check-in at the Bank of America parking lot, and though some tools will be available, volunteers are welcome to bring along their own as well.
Garden tour: Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Madison Park’s annual garden tour! Prepare to be inspired as neighbors have generously opened their yards and await this opportunity to showcase landscaping and flora. Tickets are $20 per guest, and can be purchased online at www.friendsofmadisonpark.com. Proceeds benefit the Friends of Madison Park.
Subscribe to the Friends of Madison Park newsletter for updated information on neighborhood happenings, and please attend the next community meeting on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the bathhouse. We look forward to seeing you there.
