Authors (and married couple) Eden Dawn and Ashod Simonian seek out the obscure and fascinating, and the date descriptions are motivating enough to prompt even the most dedicated Netflix-and-chillers to head out the door. The book is an essential resource and armchair read for Seattle's couples of all ages (and singles with friends) interested in learning about off-the-beaten-path things to do, see, and taste.

[Ben Donovan · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun book to peruse over a few weeks.

[Aisha · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars - I liked how this book jogged my memory for various places around Seattle and picked a wide variety of date ideas on different budgets. I don’t always love the constant pop culture references, feels very much like you have to be a certain age to use this book, which I found slightly off putting. A good roundup overall.

[Carly Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delightful book full of great illustrations, fun date itineraries, and amusing commentary.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

This had a ton of neat ideas outside of the normal tourist stuff. Will definitely try out a few itineraries the next time I'm there.

[Levi Coffin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Had a nice variety of coupling of activities to do together. A lot more activities outside the city than expected.
