| Description |
English: The first three parks along the west shore of Seattle's Lake Washington--Madison, Leschi and Madrona--originated in the early 1890s as marketable retreats by street railway companies, who also owned nearby lots they sold to the huge influx of people to the city after the Great Fire of 1889. The parks featured attractions like dance halls, promenades, canoes for hire, nature trails. In this image, two couples sit on large wooden swings located in Madrona Park. In 1908 Union Trunk Line sold Madrona Park to the City of Seattle, which still maintains a 31-acre section of the original park as a swimming beach.
