Plan on keeping it simple? Consider these options.

The Park at Bothell Landing

Stroll through the park, plan a picnic or stop in the gazebo when visiting one of Bothell’s most iconic spots, the Park at Bothell Landing. Grab some wine and cheese or craft his or her favorite meal from scratch! This option will offer beautiful views, a rich sense of history and a special touch of personalization for your Valentine. After spending time outdoors, warm up with a cup of coffee at Cafe Ladro or Social Grounds.

Meander Main Street

Keep it low-key and spend the day meandering Main Street. Start the morning at The Den Coffee Shop, then cruise up and down Main Street stopping into shops like Sankara Imports for treasures found in India, Nepal and Turkey. Afterward, grab lunch or a mid-afternoon glass of wine from Revolve Food and Wine Bar and finish the day with something sweet from Hillcrest Bakery.

Explore Breweries

Looking for something low-key? Visit Bothell breweries for craft beer and delicious eats. On Friday, visit the Hop and Hound to enjoy craft beer in their beer garden and chow down on mouth-watering burgers from Macho Burger’s food truck, open from 5 to 8 PM. If you’re here for the long weekend, visit Foggy Noggin, a quaint microbrewery specializing in English style ales, on Saturday. If you seek to further your beer conquest, visit Woodinville’s Dirty Bucket Brewing, 20 Corners Brewing and Triplehorn Brewery for even more stellar options.
