About Madrona

Dog walking in Madrona, what it actually looks like

Madrona is a small lakeside neighborhood on the east edge of central Seattle, defined by Lake Washington access at Madrona Park beach (off-leash in designated areas) and the leafy residential blocks between 34th Avenue and Lake Washington Boulevard. Quieter than Capitol Hill, more residential than Ballard, often considered a hidden-gem family neighborhood.

Madrona sitter inventory is small but loyal, with deep repeat-booking relationships across years. Single-family homes dominate; yards are common. The breed mix favors Goldendoodles, Standard Poodles, and Labradors, with a steady rescue contingent reflecting the Madrona Vet community-adoption ties.
