Things To Do

Historic Downtown Poulsbo

Melina's hometown! This cute downtown area boasts incredible restaurants, quirky antiques, and Scandinavian delights. We highly recommend taking some time to explore the area.

Liberty Bay Waterfront Park

A great place to sit and eat all the delicious pastries you got from Sluy's.

Nordiska

Looking for a Poulsbo souvenir? We can't recommend Nordiska enough. Specializing in Nordic-inspired housewares, kitchen goods and gifts, this is one of our favorite shops in Historic Downtown Poulsbo. We are also registered here!

Hot Shots Java

Our favorite Poulsbo coffee spot. Lots of seating to gather with friends for a cuppa before shopping through downtown or walking along the waterfront.

Sluys Poulsbo Bakery

An amazing bakery in Poulsbo, the town Melina grew up in! This bakery put Poulsbo on the map. Their donuts are world famous and well worth the wait.

Mora Iced Creamery

A great local ice cream shop in Poulsbo! Their seasonal flavors are incredible-but nothing beats their raspberry sorbet!

Burrata Bistro

Our favorite dinner spot in Poulsbo. The most delicious tapas, cocktails, and rotating menu. Fresh. Local. Delicious.

The Loft at Latitude Forty Seven Seven

One of our favorite Poulsbo lunch spots. It has the best back deck for sipping, snacking, and boat spotting.

Sogno di Vino

A cozy Italian spot tucked underneath a Tulip Tree planted over 30 years ago. Their pizza, pasta, and wine selection is *muah* perfection.

Kachai Thai Kitchen

Looking for some Thai takeout? This is THE place.

Punjab Indian Cuisine

Best Indian Takeout in Western, WA and it’s a family owned restaurant right here in little Poulsbo. The lamb korma and samosas are particularly delicious!

Blackbird Bakery

Gotta get an order of toast—sounds weird but trust us.

Sea Wolf Bakers

Across the street from Mark's first apartment, we have shared many baguettes and pastries from here!

Byen Bakeri

Melina's favorite Scandinavian Bakery in Seattle!

Petit Pierre Bakery - Phinney

Melina's favorite French Bakery in Seattle! The croissants are divine—melt in your mouth, flavor explosion, fall to your knees singing hallelujah—divine.

Butcher & Baker Provisions

A great bakery right next to our venue! Perfect for breakfast or lunch!

Needle & Thread

The Needle and Thread bar located in Tavern Law is our favorite ever! There is no menu, the bar tender creates your drink based on their conversation with you. Reservations are required, and can be made up to 7 days in advanced. Reservations fill up quickly so if this is something you are interested in make sure to plan ahead!

The Fireside Restaurant

Located in the Resort at Port Ludlow.

Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks

This is where we got engaged! It’s also where Melina realized that she wanted to hang out with Mark for the rest of her life back in 2022.

Gas Works Park

A beautiful view of Downtown Seattle. We would often walk here from Mark's apartment. It’s Mark’s favorite park in Seattle and for good reason.

Woodland Park Zoo

We love the Woodland Park Zoo! We are members and usually go at least once a month! Our first Harvey Reynolds Christmas tradition we created together is going to Wild Lanterns every winter.

Pike Place Market

It’s a tourist spot for a reason—it’s unique, very PNW, and has delicious food.

Washington Park Arboretum

Toulouse Petit Kitchen & Lounge

Our favorite French Brunch spot in Seattle! This cute spot in Queen Anne is the best place for mimosas and beignets! The morning we proposed to each other, we ate brunch here and basked in the pre-engagement excitement.
