Urban adventure date night: Take a leisurely bike ride (so you can wear regular ol clothes) up/down Burke-Gilman Trail or surface streets into a nearby Seattle neighborhood, pull over to one of the dozens of great bars, restaurants or, heck, coffee shops. Order a couple refreshments and a light dinner, then bike leisurely back home.

The key here is don’t go too far and clearly map out the least-trafficked avenues for your trip ahead of time — and, study the map so you’ll remember it. Oh, and don’t forget the bike lock.

Don’t have a bike? Rent a couple for the week. That way, you’ll have it for your date night … and you might have so much fun, you’ll want to do it twice in one week! And while that can be cumbersome and add to the expense … the effort will turn the whole week into a memorable adventure. After all, the best date nights create memories and stories.
