Spring is in the air! Friends of Madison Park volunteers have been hard at work planning events, projects and advocating for our neighborhood.
Bathhouse Renovation and Shoreline Restoration Project
Our regular Neighborhood Meeting on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the Bathhouse will focus this month on the Bathhouse and Beach Project.
• Learn about the renovation project, share your ideas, and help us develop a shared vision for the Bathhouse and shoreline.
• This is a pivotal moment in imagining what’s next for this beloved waterfront space – your voice matters!
• Hear from expert teams at Signal Architects and Anchor QEA Landscape Architects as they answer questions, review past projects, and give an overview of the challenges and opportunities ahead.
One Seattle Plan Update
Madison Park’s official appeal to the One Seattle Plan, along with all six appeals, was dismissed before the City Examiner in April. Undeterred, FoMP continues to be in discussions with the Mayor’s office, the Office of Planning and Community Development, Public Utilities and City Council Joy Hollingsworth.
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. Feedback 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 friendsofmadisonpark.com for email templates and more information on how to make your voice heard.
A Joyful Easter Egg Hunt on April 5
In case you missed the early Easter Egg Hunt, an estimated 1,000 children and families hunted for close to 5,000 Easter Eggs, played games, met the Easter Bunny, had their faces painted, had delicious treats and relished the sunny spring day. Watch our video of the day on our website’s newsletter at friendsofmadisonpark.com. A few pictures here too.

Please join us on Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 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.
