Six ideas for the best Valentine’s Day in Seattle
Whether you want to stay in or go out, we’ve got you covered with these ideas to spice up your normal date night.
BEST FOR: ADVENTUROUS COUPLES
Rent a kayak from the University of Washington Waterfront Activities Center (WAC) and rent a kayak. Bring extra blankets, your favorite takeout, and your favorite person. You’ll likely have the lake to yourself in the middle of winter, which makes it all the more romantic. If you want to turn the heat up, rent a Hot Tub Boat on Lake Union.
BEST FOR: GALENTINES
How does books and brunch sound? Stop by We Drink Books to pick out your next read and the wine that will go with it. Make your own face masks, and watch your favorite rom-com. May I suggest About Time? Want to add on Brunch the next morning with a festive Galentine’s spread and a bagel bar? Let’s talk.
BEST FOR: PARENTS
Here’s what you’re going to do: order a pizza for your kids and put on their favorite movie. Have Picnic Party Seattle set up a romantic Date Night in your backyard, so you can keep a close watch on the kids if you need to. Break out a bottle of bubbly — you don’t have to drive anywhere!
BEST FOR: ROMANCE ON A BUDGET
I’m a little hesitant to let you in on this secret because I’m tempted to keep it for myself! Bar Cotto has an amazing 3 course dinner option for $50 that INCLUDES a bottle of wine.
If Italian food isn’t your thing, get creative with a wine tasting at home. Create your own tasting sheet and be the judges of your favorite! (Or, if wine isn’t your thing, replace with cookies, whiskey, ice cream, or popcorn.)
BEST FOR: A WHOLE WEEKEND
Valentine’s Day is on a Monday, so why not celebrate the whole weekend before? Plan a mini stay-cation in Seattle (or escape to Bainbride or Whidbey) and make the occasion even more memorable. Plan for coffee and flowers at Pike Place before brunch at Le Coin, a walk around Volunteer Park, then drinks and dinner at Bottlehouse. If you need a late night snack, you’ll love Hello Robin.
BEST FOR: WORRY FREE DATE
Picnic Party Seattle has options for valentine’s Day which give you maximum safety and privacy. You can book a picnic outdoors, or opt for the stunning Microvenue in Ballard to be the venue of your private Date Night. You’ll be wowed with the COVID-safe valentine’s date!
However you choose to celebrate your loved ones, we hope you have a fabulous and fun weekend.
