Seattle's Top 10 Dates

I've decided to start a top 10 dates list for different cities in the USA. Since I grew up in Washington I thought it would only be appropriate to start with good ol' Seattle.

In No Particular Order:

1. Ivar's Fish Bar- I don't like seafood. Not in any shape or form...except Ivar's. It is so good! But food isn't the only attraction at this waterfront restaurant. Feeding the seagulls that swarm this place has been a favorite past time of visitors for years. This gem was founded in 1938. 

2. EMP (Experienced Music Project) - Yes, that is a building in the picture. No one quite knows what it is supposed to resemble. I have heard everything from a smashed guitar to a wad of play dough. Either way, it's a cool place. It is the best music museum you will visit in your life. I could seriously write a whole post on this place but I will refrain and just say its well worth a visit!

3. Ferry Rides - These are great for several reasons. You enjoy a beautiful ride in the sound, you can tag you car along if you like, it's relatively cheap and very safe.

4. Seahawks Game - If your hubby (or you) is a football fan, you must see a Seahawks game. I'm not too into football and neither is Hubby so I have nothing more to say on this.

5. Space Needle - A MUST if you are in Seattle. But, you MUST be loaded. Well, at least not poor law students like us. It is pretty expensive but a staple in the Seattle experience. Did you know that the restaurant spins? Talk about a great view while you dine!

6. Mariners game - Visit SafeCo field and catch a Mariners game! The roof is retractable. Kind of necessary in a rainy city like Seattle but a nice touch. 

7. Agua Verde Cafe and Paddle Club - How cool is this place? It's a canoe/kayak rental AND a restaurant. Enjoy a kayak ride together and then top it off with a meal while watching others paddle away into the sunset. 

8. International Fountain This one is free people! And check out the size of this thing. Gigantic fountain + hot day = great FREE date!

9. Pike Place Public Market - Another must do in Seattle. The world famous Pike Place Market. It's fantastic. If nothing else, just watch the fish throwers. They are amazing, and hilarious. You can even check them out on youtube. 

10. Seattle Underground - Who knew Seattle had an underground right? I didn't and I grew up in Washington! It is literally part of the "original" Seattle, before they elevated the streets in the mid 1800s. The ceiling is the sidewalk! Crazy right? Definitely worth seeing. 



Hope you enjoyed this top 10 list from Seattle.
Coming soon, Washington D.C!
Leave a comment about your best date and it may end up on your city's top 10 list!

Happy Dating!

Explore Your City

Each city is full of sites and activities unique unto itself. Some of the best dates are spent discovering different parts of your own city together. We spent part of our honeymoon in Seattle, Washington. It was a lot of fun! There are plenty of things to do, and places to see that won't break the bank.

For example:

We took a ferry ride. 

These are less than $10 for most and are fantastic! Kids under 6 ride for free, and you can take your car aboard to check out different islands if you like. It's a great view and so fun!

We stopped at the space needle! 

We didn't actually go up. It's way pricy. It's a lot of fun to go walk around and take pictures though. 

We visited Pike Place Public Market.

This place is great. All sorts of fresh produce, seafood and miscellaneous vendors!

Have you ever heard of the fish throwers they have there? Look them up on you tube if you haven't. It's really cool to watch them!

We also fed the seagulls at the famous Ivar's.

This is a MUST if you are ever in Seattle.

 Even if its just walking around window shopping or site seeing; exploring a city together is a great date! 

What kinds of things do you do together in your city?

Happy Dating!

P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We have been swamped! Among other things, our "Sweet B" had a birthday and Hubby graduated with two BA's! 

Whoo hoo!

Now its off to law school... destination TBA.
