THANK YOU! THANK YOU! VOLUNTEERS!
Our Spring Clean-Up was a HUGE success. 40+ volunteers, families and strong neighbors pitched in to clean up streets, prep the planting beds by the Bathhouse for new plants coming this June, sweep, weed, trim and polish our business area and park perimeter. A special shout-out to all the students, to our lead volunteer coordinators Nancy Beacham and Maggie Matern and to the support of the City’s Adopt-A Street program!
WELCOME BACK, FARMER’S MARKET!
In spite of ominous weather predictions, the Madison Park Farmer’s Market opened its season with more sun than rain and a fantastic turn-out from the neighborhood. Fresh salmon, delicious pizza, soups and sauces along with spring produce, beautiful bouquets of peonies, fresh eggs and asparagus provided our first glimpses into the summer market. More vendor spots will be filled in the weeks to come. We are so delighted to have this gathering place for our community- supporting Washington farmers around healthy, locally produced food. Thank you, Seattle Farmer’s Market Association. Calling on volunteers to help for 2 hour shifts at our booth through the season. Click HERE to volunteer.
