Tropical Winter Date features the Volunteer Park Conservatory and a secret drink at Inside Passage

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. Together, Eden and Ashod run the activism-based nail polish company Claws Out. The Seattle Book of Dates—just like their previous best-seller, The Portland Book of Dates—is a natural extension of their adventurous, overextended lifestyle. They wrote this book from their slightly creaky 100-year-old Portland home.
