Seattle doesn’t just mark Valentine’s Day on the calendar, the city turns the entire month into a vibrant celebration of connection, creativity, and culture. From candlelit dinners and handson workshops to KPop fan gatherings, live storytelling, and womencentered celebrations, February invites us to slow down, show up, and experience the many ways love takes shape here. Whether you’re planning a romantic night out, a Galentine’s adventure, or a meaningful community moment, this guide highlights where Seattle is dining, dancing, creating, and coming together.



Special Valentine’s Day Events

Last Story Standing – Live Storytelling at Art Love Salon – February 14

This Valentine’s Day, Seattleites are invited to experience something deeper than roses and prix fixe menus at Last Story Standing, a live storytelling event hosted by the National Speakers Association Northwest. From 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Art Love Salon, eight trained speakers will each share a fiveminute true story rooted in love, courage, resilience, and human experience, culminating in a friendly competition where one storyteller advances to the next regional level. Producer Melissa Reaves describes the gathering as a space where “a specific kind of magic happens when someone stands in their truth and tells a story from the heart,” inviting audiences into genuine connection rather than performance. The event includes breakfast snacks from Bakery Nouveau, an optional lunch addon, and both inperson and free virtual attendance options. Details and tickets can be found HERE.
