4 materials work well in Madrona, each with real trade-offs. Trex Transcend and TimberTech AZEK (PVC composite) handle Seattle moisture with 25-30 year fade warranties and no annual maintenance, but composite gets hot on south-facing decks in summer. Western Red Cedar costs less upfront and looks great on traditional Madrona homes, though you'll re-stain it every 2-3 years. IPE hardwood lasts 50-75 years and gets better with age, at $28–$40 per sq ft installed. lake-side sloped lots where original 1920s footings sit on poorly-drained fill, plus old-growth tree shade keeping moss alive on west-facing decks year-round factors into every choice here.
