Let's chase spring blooms and Seattle sunsets--ready for an unforgettable date?
1. Cherry Blossom Stroll at the University of Washington Quad
When Late March to early April
Why The UW Quad’s cherry blossoms are iconic, turning the area into a pink wonderland. It’s free, romantic, and screams spring.
Date Plan Pack a light picnic , spread a blanket under the trees, and soak in the blooms. Afterward, wander hand-in-hand to the nearby Drumheller Fountain for a scenic photo op.
2. Skagit Valley Tulip Festival Day Trip
When April 1–30, 2025 (the whole month is fair game, typically!)
Why About an hour north of Seattle, the tulip fields explode with color—perfect for a dreamy, Instagram-worthy date.
Date Plan Drive up to Mount Vernon, stroll through fields at spots like Tulip Town or RoozenGaarde, and sip local wine at their beer-and-wine garden. Cap it with a cozy dinner at a nearby farm-to-table spot like Nell Thorn in La Conner.
3. Sunset Ferry Ride to Bainbridge Island
When Any clear spring evening (March-May, but April’s weather is usually kinder)
Why The ferry ride offers killer views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound, plus Bainbridge has quaint charm.
Date Plan Catch a late afternoon ferry from Coleman Dock, sip coffee or wine on board, and watch the sunset. On Bainbridge, grab dinner at a spot like Hitchcock or we can just stroll Winslow’s cute streets.
4. Pike Place Market Spring Exploration
When Anytime, but spring mornings (especially April-May) feel extra fresh with new seasonal goods! (I'm a morning person.)
Why It’s classic Seattle, bustling with flowers, fresh eats, and that romantic chaos.
Date Plan Start with coffee at the original Starbucks, then wander—buy a bouquet of spring blooms from the stalls, sample local cheeses, and split a seafood dish at a spot like Pike Place Chowder. End with a view of the Sound from the new Overlook Walk.(It isn't finished as of yet but I would like to go see it once it is!)
6. Volunteer Park Conservatory and Capitol Hill Vibes
When Any spring day (open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 AM-4 PM)
Why The conservatory’s lush plants and warm greenhouse feel are a cozy escape, and Capitol Hill adds an trendy vibe to our plans!
Date Plan Explore the exotic flowers and cacti inside, then climb the Volunteer Park water tower for a 360-degree view. Afterward, hit a chic Capitol Hill spot like Rione XIII for Italian bites or a craft cocktail at Liberty.
7. Spring Hike at Rattlesnake Ledge
When April-May (trails dry out a bit by then)
Why A moderate 4-mile round-trip hike with a stunning payoff—views of Rattlesnake Lake and the Cascades.
Date Plan Drive 45 minutes east, hike up and enjoy a picnic at the top. (Spring wildflowers hopefully, might be popping, adding to the romance!)
