Or Go underground!
For a step back in time, stroll the
cobblestone streets of Pioneer
Square, where an iron pergola,
Tlingit totem pole, and
Romanesque brick buildings are
remnants of Seattle’s past. Check
out art galleries, cafés, antique
shops –the eclectic area definitely
encourages lots of hand-holding.
And don’t forget to check out what
also lies beneath the streets. Bill
Speidel's Underground Tour is a
cheesy but entertaining guided
tour of the hidden subterranean
passages that were once the main
roadways of downtown Seattle.

Plod Through Pike Market
Chocolates, flowers, jewelry, oh my! You’ll find every valentine favorite at this queen bee of farmer’
s markets. But watch out for those flying fish! This venue has been a Seattle institution since 1907
and beneath open air tents, merchants, craftsman and farmers line up year round. Aside from the
original Starbucks, you won’t find any chain stores here –and all is sold on a first come basis, so
for the freshest and finest, get their early. You won’t be disappointed!
Go For Some Paired
Pampering
Vida is one Seattle’s newer
spas where you can bliss
out together. All seventeen
treatment rooms offer
unrivalled delights that will
satisfy any spa aficionado.
From hot stones and body
wraps to massages and
facials their therapies are
designed to relax, restore
and regenerate. While lying
side by side in one of these
zen-like havens, you’ll most
definitely zone out.
A Secluded Sanctuary – The Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle
This elite award winner occupies a prime location near the city’s core. Instead of being squeezed
next to downtown high rises that brim from Seattle’s bustling vortex, you’ll be idyllically distanced
from the percolating crowds. It’s just four blocks from the Pike and Pine Street shopping, six
blocks from the Convention Center and the Space Needle, and minutes via streetcar from Lake
Union’s enticing restaurants.
You may want to surprise your sweetie by booking the ‘Romance Package.’ A fresh bouquet,
decadent chocolates and a bottle of bubbly will accompany your contemporary suite. Or better
yet, go for the Sleepless in Seattle. With brunch in bed, a pair of PJs to share and free romantic
in-room movies, you probably won’t get much shut eye!
