Taking the water taxi to Alki can feel like a mini vacation on a glorious Seattle summer evening. It's one of those Seattle date night ideas that's hard to top. It’s also a bargain — just $5 each way with an ORCA card or $5.75 without. Once you land at Alki, take a relaxing stroll along the promenade, or if you’re feeling adventurous, rent a cute surrey or a tandem bike from Wheel Fun. There are plenty of date-night-worthy restaurants on Alki. Duke's and Salty's are good bets for yummy food paired with a beautiful waterfront view.
