There’s no need to venture beyond Issaquah Highlands for a romantic Valentine’s Day date with your loved one. Grand Ridge Plaza offers more than 50 shops, services and restaurants for residents and visitors to enjoy!

Here are some ideas for your perfect Valentine’s date:

Check out a movie at Regal Cinemas.

The theatre features ultra-wide, high back rocking chairs and an expanded food menu. From Feb. 9-16, “Titanic” will return to theatres in 3-D for its 25th anniversary. Also showing this Valentine’s Day are Marlowe (starring Liam Neeson) and Magic Mike’s Last Dance (with Channing Tatum). Find tickets online.

Grab a meal at one of many restaurants.

Several restaurants in Issaquah Highlands are offering specials on Feb. 14. Big Fish Grill is serving a Valentine’s Day menu with entrees like prime rib, black cod and crab curry. Amarone Restaurant & Bar is handing out roses as well as special dinner items. RAM Restaurant & Brewery is also offering two-course dinner specials from Feb. 11-14. Other sit-down restaurants include Agave Cocina & Tequilas, Aji Sushi & Grill, Bai Tong Thai Restaurant and Danji.

For faster food options, swing by the following options: BB’s Teriyaki Grill, Mod Pizza, Jimmy Johns, Highlands Poke or The Habit Burger Grill.

Try a new full-body workout together.

Research shows that working out with your significant other can be beneficial to your relationship. Consider signing up for a free introductory kickboxing session at 9Round. Or try a free class at Barre3, where new clients can experience a combination of strength, cardio and mindfulness. If you’re interested in heart rate-based interval training, Orangetheory Fitness offers a free first class as well.

Find a special gift for your loved one.

Shop for the perfect Valentine’s gift under $50 at Marshalls or HomeGoods. Marshalls offers a selection of popular clothing brands at low prices, whereas HomeGoods provides a selection of unique items such as furniture, kitchen supplies, seasonal décor, outdoor essentials and much more.

Venture over to Dick’s Sporting Goods for high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. Or cross the parking lot to choose from affordable beauty products at Ulta Beauty.

Spend personal time together.

Don’t break the bank on Valentine’s Day—just spending time together is special enough. Grab a beverage from Caffe Ladro or Starbucks and take a stroll around the commercial property. Or find a bench in Grand Ridge Plaza Park or Community Pillars Plaza to sit down, sip your drinks and chat. Consider doing the same with ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s.

For a more intimate experience, stop by Safeway and BevMo for ingredients to make a home-cooked meal and drinks. Find a new game or puzzle at SnapDoodle Toys to enjoy together.

Utilize services to get ready for your big date.

In preparation for your Valentine’s date, think about getting your hair done at Great Clips or Sorella Salon & Spa. Relax with a manicure or pedicure from Highlands Nails or book a treatment from Restore Hyper Wellness to help you feel your best.
