The amazing feeling of being in love is that you end up being spontaneous at one point on a given day, and sometimes that spontaneity takes people to levels of acting in crazy ways, like just getting on a jet plane and flying to Seattle. . Have you ever randomly told your boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife about taking a weekend trip to a place you haven’t been? It should happen when you are in love.
One of the places that many couples venture out romantically is Seattle Washington, and why not, it is one of the most beautiful places in the United States. With a climate that is considered very oceanic, with mild, wet winters and cool, dry summers, couples tend to stick together, creating true intimacy. Well there’s the rain that Seattle is known for, and nothing compares to kissing in the rain, intimate raindrops bounce off each other’s skin as they kiss passionately, it almost feels like they’re in Paris, France. .
The moment you slowly exit the plane at Sea-Tac Airport, you can hop on the Sound Transit or Sounder commuter train and, while snuggling into the convenient public transportation Seattle has to offer, on your way to one of the many small romantic neighborhoods the Seattle area has to offer with hotels and vacation rentals. To really make this weekend getaway romantic, I highly recommend that you go with a cute little vacation rental instead of a hotel, with a vacation rental such as a house, condo or apartment, you will have an additional amount of privacy that a hotel can’t really offer. Well, to top it off, I’d go with a vacation rental by the water; There is something so romantic about snuggling and kissing by the water in Seattle.
Some of the areas that I suggest you look for a vacation rental could be Magnolia, Wallingford, Green Lake, University District, Ballard, Ravenna, West Seattle, Lake City, Pinehurst, Northgate, Bitter Lake, and Greenwood. These Seattle neighborhoods are known for some cute and private vacation home rentals at affordable prices. Back to romance, after checking into your rental, and freshening up a bit, and maybe a little couples massage, it’s time to get out there and enjoy the city.
First of all, you need to head to Seacrest Park on Harbor Ave, as this is a park that is close to the water and is very romantic. This romantic park is delivered from the great view of downtown Seattle and lacks bright lights. The lack of bright lights really makes it a perfect place to snuggle together while gazing at the perfect picture of the Seattle skyline. After your visit to the park, you’ve worked up your appetite and now it’s time to sample some of Seattle’s romantic restaurants.
There are so many romantic restaurants to try in Seattle, but I have narrowed the list down to 3 options; Boat Street Cafe, Lark and La Rustica. Boat Street Cafe, has the perfect lighting with tables very well spaced with a feeling of isolation. When you are in this establishment you feel as if you are alone, and definitely try the Fromage and the Roasted Cauliflower, they are staples on their menu.
Next, award-winning Chef Johnathan Sundstrom runs Restaurant Lark, he is a culinary artist who delivers romance in each and every dish he cooks. Everything you cook looks beautiful, from the Taleggio to the Crispy Liberty Farm Duck Leg to the Chocolate Madelines and to top it off the wine list is very diverse. You need wine to make it romantic.
The last restaurant option I have is La Rustica, this is a place that tends to get crowded as you will be sitting close to others, but this is a place that people go specifically with their loved ones for romance, so that you won’t. having little kids running around or college students making noise is just for romance. When you go to this romantic Italian spot, be sure to try the gnocchi or risotto, the romance melts from those dishes from plate to mouth.
Now that you’ve had a romantic dinner, it’s time to go to one of Seattle’s many romantic coffee shops to pick me up for a bit. I recommend stopping by this place, The Yellow Leaf Cupcake Company, in the Belltown area of Seattle, because they have some romantic deserts that couples can share.
Now is the time to take a walk back to the rental property where you are staying. Remember to hold hands as you return and enjoy the cool breeze that Seattle nights have and when you return I’m sure the night is just beginning. Enjoy Seattle!
