You and your SO can walk, bike, or drive on and enjoy the upper decks or sit inside and take in the views from the seating area. Plus you can always zip over to an accessible island like Bainbridge for a little hike or meal.

Hiking is a classic PNW date and another one you can almost never go wrong with. Unless of course, your date hates hiking in which case we’re confused as to why they live in the PNW. Anyway, we have a whole list of scenic hikes that you can check out for all skill levels.
Visit Wonderland
Themed things are really popping off these days and if you and your date happen to be into Alice in Wonderland, you’re in luck. That’s because there are not one but several wonderland-themed events happening across the city this fall. Be sure to check them out if that’s up your alley.

Yea you probably won’t be doing this on a first date. But if you’re really looking to wow your SO or maybe even pop the question, this is a great way to do so. You can choose from a whole host of different airborne tours and they aren’t as expensive as you think they might be.
Hit the road on a day trip
One of our favorite ways to bond with people is through adventuring. Honestly, Seattle is probably one of the best places to do just that. After all, you have the outdoors just a stone’s throw out of the city and plenty of cool things to check out like this town full of murals. If you’re looking for something scenic, we made a little list for you.
Enjoy your dates!
