Top 5 Most Romantic Cities

MAKE UP at the Herbfarm in Woodinville. Set in a fairy-tale cottage, the world-renowned restaurant offers splendid Northwest wines, seasonal theme dinners, walking garden tours, and a classical guitarist. Romance is heavy on the menu. [But do they serve oysters? –Ed.] It costs a small fortune, but hey, if the fight was worth having, so’s a five-hour, nine-course reconciliation.

HAVE DARING SEX with a panoramic view of the city in the Columbia Tower Club women’s bathroom on the 76th floor of the Bank of America Tower. It’s about as close to the Mile-High Club as you can get without being airborne.

WHO ELSE: Bill and Melinda Gates (news of their 1993 engagement was “the fastest email ever at Microsoft,” according to one employee); Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love; Nancy Wilson and Cameron Crowe (married on Capitol Hill in
1986, the former Heart rocker wore the pearls her mother wore at her wedding); Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, sleeplessly.

SCENE TO MATCH (From Crowe’s Say Anything, 1989.) John Cusack. A boom box. “In Your Eyes.” Excuse us while we swoon.

ONLY IN SEATTLE CAN YOU … make out at the top of what is probably the most phallic landmark ever–the Space Needle.
