Walking Seattle - Madison Street, Bay to Lake, 2026

I did an Elliott Bay to Lake Washington a couple of weeks ago on Union Street (mostly). A viewer mentioned the Madison Street Bay to Lake walk, truly the only street that runs from bay to lake, so here is a walk along the length of Madison Street. I’ve done this walk at least twice, but it is a very nice walk through a lot of neighborhoods, so here it is again. 0:00 Walk map 0:22 Walk starts at the ferry terminal overlooking Elliott Bay 4:00 Alaskan Way and Madison 8:40 2nd Avenue 11:30 4th Avenue, Seattle Public Library ahead on left 14:50 6th Avenue, crossing I-5, First Hill ahead 21:35 Boren Avenue 26:15 Broadway, Seattle U ahead on right, Capitol Hill neighborhood to the left 33:25 14th Avenue 37:30 Gas prices…Yikes! 46:35 23rd Avenue, Madison Valley neighborhood 51:40 26th Avenue 58:45 Lake Washington Blvd. Washington Park Arboretum on the left, Madison Park and Washington Park neighborhoods ahead 1:06:40 Broadmoor Country Club to the left 1:09:25 Woodrow Pl E, unoccupied Russian consul home (Samuel Hyde House) to the left, closed in 2018 1:12:55 E Garfield St, Madison Park commercial district ahead Filmed September, 2026 #seattlewalks #urbanwalks #citywalks
