Business Association
The Madison Park Business Association counts as members nearly 100 of the storefronts that line Madison Street from The Arboretum to Lake Washington, with a concentration between McGilvra and the lake. The members share a common purpose: to fan the decades-old village flame. The Business Association is here to support the businesses, and the businesses are here to serve the community; it’s as simple, now, as it was at the turn of the twentieth century. In architecture and signage, as in attitude, continuity and professionalism are watchwords. By sponsoring such events as the parade, the picnic, and the music in the park, the Association thanks residents every year for their continued patronage.
