Let the awkward times ensue at Madison Beach. The beach is literally divided into elementary-school, middle-school, high-school, and college zones, from south to north. So wherever you are in standardized education, you're bound to run into people you know. Crazy ex-girlfriends, a creepy lab partner, your middle-school crush, even your little sister's ex–best friend's boyfriend?this is the unofficial stomping ground of all of Seattle's youth. That, plus beer, pot, and cigarettes galore.?Britt Thorson
