Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks

Late afternoon spring day at Madrona park. A medium-size willow is leafing out near the water which reflects the clouds and Mercer Island in the distance. A couple sites on one of the two park benches looking out at Lake Washington
Madrona Park is lovely in the spring as the willows leaf out and the ducklings enjoy the restored wetland at the north end of the park.
