If you live in Seattle and love the romance of a grey day, or galoshes in the rain, then you safely propose at any time of year. But if you would like to propose marriage in the sunshine, then summer is the time to do it, when you can count on many warm and sunny Seattle days. Here are some of the best places to propose in Seattle, so check out the forecast, grab your diamond engagement ring, and make it a day to remember!

Pike Place Market: Hold hands as you wander the shops and stalls in search of the freshest fruit,baked goods, cheese, and wine for an al fresco lunch along the Puget Sound that includes a surprise course – diamonds!

For a more weather-proof dining destination, consider getting reservations at the popular restaurant Maximilien, near Pike Place Market. If the weather is nice, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the waterfront. If the weather turns, you can still enjoy a romantic meal indoors, with regional specialties prepared with a French twist.

If sitting down for a meal together at a nice restaurant doesn’t land on your list of best places to propose,then you may wish to consider walking around the shops and galleries of historic Pioneer Square or the bookstores and antique shops of the Queen Anne neighborhood, then finding an appropriate bench. Or you may prefer the idea of bringing your diamond cluster engagement ring along on a horse-drawn carriage ride along the stunning Seattle waterfront.

Does your girlfriend make you feel like you are on top ofthe world? Your ideal proposal spot may be at the top of the Seattle Space Needle 600 feet above the city. Call ahead to find out the least busy times to visit this popular tourist destination, and make a plan to pop the question surrounded by gorgeous views of the Seattle city scape.

Get ready for your perfect proposal with the perfect diamond engagement ring!
