The Best Walks for Dates in Seattle
Seattle gives you a choice between a neighborhood meeting and a waterfront outing. Check the map together before settling on a venue, and leave room for the weather to change your outdoor plans.
Agree on a specific entrance and a manageable route before meeting. These five parks and walking destinations range from shorter city outings to more active trails. Check the official park page for current access, conditions and any fees. Park map pins identify the destination, not a promise that every entrance or trail is open or accessible.
This selection includes Discovery Park, Myrtle Edwards Park, Kerry Park, Washington Park Arboretum and Gas Works Park. Use the map and practical details below to pick the one that fits your date.
Discovery Park
A large park combining woodland, meadows and coastal scenery. Choose a specific entrance together, then make the length of the walk a shared decision. Consult the official park information for trail conditions, access and any entry fees.
Myrtle Edwards Park
A waterfront park with pedestrian paths beside Elliott Bay. Treat this as its own outing; there is no need to cover the whole park on a first date. Consult the official park information for trail conditions, access and any entry fees.
Kerry Park
A small viewpoint park overlooking the city. Leave time to stop and talk rather than making distance the goal. Consult the official park information for trail conditions, access and any entry fees.
Washington Park Arboretum
An arboretum cared for by the University of Washington Botanic Gardens. Agree on a route that suits both people and check the current access information before leaving. Consult the official park information for trail conditions, access and any entry fees.
Gas Works Park
A Lake Union park with a waterfront promenade. A starting point for an outdoor date, with the route and pace decided together. Consult the official park information for trail conditions, access and any entry fees.
Less swiping. More stories.
Saw their ads all over my neighborhood and was hesitant to download. Ive been on all the apps at this point. All i have to say is WOW. This is miles ahead of Tinder and Hinge. Its a completely different experience and you see the difference almost immediately. It felt like chatting with a real person bc the thing actually responds to what you’re saying. Really surprised by their AI, it didnt sound like a bot. Kinda scary how good it is but i guess thats just how far AI has come.
This app is incredible. I love how it works, it’s a great UI and really pairs you with someone you actually would be compatible with. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get set up the same way you’d get set up by mutuals.
Amazing!! Was super user friendly and took minimal time to set up. Great idea and executed really well!!
