Madison Valley is a neighborhood in Seattle located east of Capitol Hill; west of Washington Park; south of Montlake; and north of the Central District.

The valley is centered on the corner of E. Madison Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way E., its main thoroughfares (northeast- and southwest-bound and north- and southbound, respectively).

Like most Seattle neighborhoods, Madison Park has no officially defined borders. The neighborhood (or sometimes just the eastern part of it) is sometimes considered part of the Madison Park neighborhood; there is a sign on East Madison Street in the middle of Madison Valley saying you are entering Madison Park.

Members of the Greater Madison Valley Community Council maintain a community web site at http://www.madisonvalley.org. The web site offers information on upcoming council meetings, past issues of the Valley View newsletter, photos of community events, and a contact page.

Madison Valley is known for its French restaurants, and is sometimes referred to as Seattle's French Quarter.
