Is your anniversary on the horizon? Looking to impress a new love? Washington is full of romantic restaurants, parks, hotels and towns, and this is far from a list of all of them. But these places just happen to be perfect for enjoying with that special someone.
Time and time again, LaConner is recognized as one of the top weekend getaways in our state. That’s probably because of its charming waterfront location, wonderful hotel and restaurant options and the fact that it’s basically covered in tulips all April.
The SkyRide is an oldie but goodie for anyone looking for a romantic date in Spokane. You’ll enjoy an incredible bird’s eye view of the second largest urban falls in the United States. Afterwards, you can take a sunset stroll through Riverfront Park.

The Woodmark is more than just a hotel—it’s a destination itself. You and your better half can dine at Bin on the Lake or the Beach Cafe, both of which are onsite with gorgeous views of Lake Washington. Your room or suite will have luxurious bedding, a soaking tub and a soothing rain shower. If you really want to pamper yourselves, you can book massages at the Woodmark Still Spa.

This little gem is so well hidden in Pike Place Market’s Post Alley that some locals don’t even know it’s there. With its dim lighting, candelabras and boudoir-like decor, this Italian restaurant seems primed for romance. And depending on which night you visit, you’ll either enjoy trapeze artists or a sexy burlesque show in the lounge.
No list of romantic places could ever be complete without the San Juans. With miles of beaches, relaxing hotels like the Roche Harbor Resort, Friday Harbor House and the Outlook Inn on Orcas Island, plus the most stunning sunsets you could ever imagine, it’s no wonder couples hop a ferry to the islands when they need to reconnect.
Cave B celebrates some of the best things in life: food, wine and music (they’re located next to the Gorge Amphitheater). Sip vino at the Cave B Winery and have dinner at Tendrils, which serves Northwest inspired cuisine using herbs and veggies from the onsite garden. You and your sweetie can stay in a cavern or Inn room or go "glamping" in a yurt.
When you think about a beach stroll in Seattle, you might think of Alki Beach or Golden Gardens. And while they’re both great, Lincoln Park in West Seattle is a true hidden gem. There are 4.6 miles of walking paths to enjoy together and plenty of perfect waterfront space to have a picnic.
Spokane has its share of romantic restaurants, but Mizuna’s charming decor, old brick walls and shareable plates make it a perfect place for date night.
