Love is in the air this weekend as it's Valentine's Day! If you still need last second plans, we got you covered!

Let's do a rapid fire round of Valentine's Day events going on: recommended by our lead producer David Burbank, catch the classic Sleepless in Seattle at Central Cinema throughout the weekend, a perfect dinner and a movie idea. At the Day 1 Playfield from 11-2 today you can build your own flower arrangement and make a handmade card for your valentine. Maybe your night is taking you to Pike Place market for dinner on the water, enjoy some laughs at the Comedy of Love Improv show at Unexpected Productions Market Theater, located right by the gum wall. Hit the ice at the Kraken Community Iceplex for the Valentine's Day Public Skate! There will be love songs, romantic lighting and a free dessert from 32 Bar and Grill with purchase of an entree. There are SO MANY more date night ideas and things going on tonight, but remember, it's all about spending time with the person or people you care about, grab some flowers, write a nice card and spend some time together!

You can get out and support some good causes this weekend. On the Evergreen Coast in Ilwaco (ILL-WA-CO), there's a Crab Crawl! There will be vendors and an art market as well as the big star of the show, the crab races! 
This event supports the Ilwaco Fire Department and the Hook and Ladder Company, which provides fire suppression, rescue, emergency medical care and hazardous materials response for the city, as well as fire safety programs.  Get more details at evergreencoastwa.com

If you love chowder, you'll want to head to the Gig Harbor Vintage Aero Museum today! It's time for the Green Gig chowder social. Once there you'll enjoy chowders from local chefs with flavor profiles from across the country. There will be live music and silent auctions as well, all raising money for early childhood education! You can get more details at gigharbourfoundation.org

Here's something sent to me from a listener! Local artists and vendors will be selling homemade goods at HANDMADELAND! This is going down  Saturday and Sunday and has over 175 vendors and the idea is all about exploration and discovery! The layout of the event encourages you to see as much as possible and will highlight small local businesses, activities for you to make and take, art installations a photo booth and plenty more. This is at Magnuson Park  Hanger 30 and is free to attend! More details are available handmadeland.club

As Black History Month continues, there are numerous events happening each weekend. Sunday at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington it is the third annual Nlack Makers and Creative's event. This is a celebration of local black artists and is a fundraiser for the Family First Community Center. Not only will there be art, but food as well from a variety of local vendors as well. Get tickets and details by searching hyattexperiences.com for the 3rd Annual Black Makers & Creatives Art Exhibit
