A Ramble in Madison Valley, Winter, 2023
This one cuts from 23rd Ave E and E John St and ends at the east end of E Madison St at Lake Washington. One would think that is a straight shot, and well, it is. I did not take that route though and opted instead to wind my way towards and along Lake Washington Blvd before heading north to the end of E Madison. I end up rolling through a neighborhood of million-dollar houses that I have never been to before. This city has some crazy real estate prices! Enjoy!
