  • Begin your date in the afternoon by taking a ferry ride across the Puget Sound. Board the ferry at the Seattle Ferry Terminal and enjoy the scenic views of lush islands, distant mountains, and the beautiful Seattle skyline. The cool breeze and tranquil water make for a charmingly romantic milieu.
  • After the ferry ride, head to one of Seattle's renowned waterfront restaurants. Be it the high-end Elliott's Oyster House or the homely Ivarโ€™s Acres of Clams, pick a place that suits your tastes and budget. Enjoy a gourmet dinner with your partner as you watch the sun dip below the horizon.
  • As the night settles in, take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, hand in hand with your partner. The glittering city lights reflecting off the water add a magical touch to the already enchanting evening.

Preparation steps:

  • Book your ferry tickets in advance to avoid any last-minute hassle. You can easily do that online or at the Seattle Ferry Terminal. Next, make a reservation at your chosen restaurant. Waterfront restaurants can get busy, especially during the sunset hours.
  • While dressing up, keep in mind that being on the water might be a bit colder than being on land. Itโ€™s a good idea to bring a lightweight jacket. Moreover, consider wearing something both comfortable for a ferry ride and suitable for a nice dinner.
  • Occasionally, ferry rides can cause motion sickness for some. If you or your partner have had previous experiences with motion sickness, consider packing some travel sickness tablets.
