A fascinating, nostalgic look at the history of Madison Park

Author Jane Powell Thomas invites the reader to experience these true stories from one of Seattle's oldest neighborhoods.

Located on the western shore of Lake Washington, Madison Park was first home to Duwamish Indians and virgin forest, then to some of early Seattle’s pioneer families. Few know that it was also home to a 21-acre amusement park, a band of gypsies, a traveling circus, and Seattle’s first professional baseball park.

Learn about the early pioneer days, the dawn of a new century in the 1900s, the pre-war and war years, and beyond—all with reference to world, national, and regional events. ... Read more

A job very well done
Ms. Thomas has done a careful, interesting job of organizing a lot of information in a most readable fashion.I particularly liked her tables about the population growth at the end of the sections and the time line presented inside the front cover. It was interesting to read about some of the names of streets known to us such as McGilvra Boulevard as we had not known anything about the McGilvra family previously.

I also appreciated the last chapter on the various residences that are still about and plan to bring our copy to the neighborhood so that I might be able to spot more of them.Her comments on the various businesses in Madison Park were also very interesting to read.

Product Description
When Ellen goes with her grandmother, Bon, to visit old friends, Bon expects her to act like a lady. And that means no snooping! But sometimes Ellen just can't help herself. Besides, it seems that no matter what she does Bon is never pleased. When Ellen finds a dead baby rabbit in the garden, Bon tells her to put it in the trash can, and she's not very understanding when she discovers that, instead of throwing the rabbit away, Ellen has hidden it under their bed. But Bon is most upset when Ellen is caught snooping in their hosts' bedroom. During this weekend full of revelations, Ellen finally realizes that there are better ways to satisfy her curiosity than snooping. She also learns that Bon--perfect Bon!--wasn't always well behaved when she was a girl. In this warm intergenerational chapter book, illustrated throughout with line drawings, grandmother and granddaughter grow closer when they realize how alike they truly are. ... Read more
