It’s All About Love Downtown: Love Lists Return!
If you’ve been around the block (and even if you’re the new kid on it), you’ve probably noticed that Downtown Edmonds businesses just show up for each other. No time is that affection more apparent than during Love Month. Our annual Love Lists give local shops and restaurants a chance to do two things they love most: highlight something swoon-worthy they’re offering for Valentine’s Day and gush about a fellow Downtown business that makes their heart kinda, maybe, probably, definitely skip a beat.
The result? Double the lists, double the love, and a whole lot of local crushing that’ll make you want to peek into every corner of downtown. Secret admirers, long-time besties, and perfect pairings—they’re all here, tucked between the streets.
So grab this list and take it with you as you treat your lovers, your galentines, your palentines, and yourself. And when you’re checking out, ask your favorite businesses about the ones they recommended. The stories are always worth hearing.
Here’s the full list of participants—plan your route accordingly.
Let’s get into the love.
The 2026 Love List
Anchor Chic Consignment loves making gifting easy (and fun). Stop in and grab a gift card in any amount—perfect for letting someone special discover their new favorite piece. After browsing their racks, take a stroll down the street to Musicology Co and dig through their amazing vinyl selection. Their albums and adorable knick-knacks make the best gifts… even if they end up being for you.
ARTspot wants you to bring your Valentine to one of their Paint & Sip Paint Parties! Create a one-of-a-kind painting with step-by-step instruction while sipping wine and refreshments.

After you make some art, keep your date going at Ristorante Machiavelli, where a beautiful Italian menu and a fun Valentine’s cocktail await.
Camp Vintage lets you level up your date night with a vintage Valentine and unique retro gift!

As you explore, let the brilliant hues of our vibrant art glass catch the light, creating the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening spent finding a gift as unique and enduring as your own story. Next, stop by ARTspot Edmonds across the street and grab some art supplies, paints and canvases and keep the date going by creating your own work of art!

While you’re in Edmonds, why not make a day of it? Stop by the beloved Vinbero for a delicious lunch, linger a bit, and enjoy their happy hour.
Kelnero wants you to take advantage of their amorous vibes and start date night right with Valentine’s and Sinful Seventh Birthday specials. Flavors ranging from green tea sake to decadent chocolate martini to house-made, anatomically shaped macarons will warm you up in all the right places. They love Sugarology Edmonds‘ own line of body care products, made from safe ingredients with fresh, homey, and gender-neutral scents. Cleanse, scrub, moisturize, and spend your day smelling extra delicious for a romantic night or just another day!

They’re fans of Interiors of Edmonds, where you can find beautiful pieces for your home, from statement furniture to cute accessories.

Soaring Heart Natural Beds and Pear Tree Consignment are showing love for the community with their daily sustainable practices. Pear Tree’s goal is to get you out of fast fashion and into sustainable, gently used but long-lasting slow fashion. As a manufacturer and retailer of handmade bedding, Soaring Heart understands that good things should last a long time! Pick up your perfect date night outfit at Pear Tree, then swing by Soaring Heart for a cuddly, locally-made gift for your loved ones. A travel pillow guarantees you’ll be well-rested for date night, wherever it may take you. They also have an extra cuddly in-store exclusive Heart Pillow for your loved ones—but don’t wait too long—this one is limited-edition and made in small quantities!
Sugarology Edmonds specializes in sugaring hair removal and customized skin treatments. Step away from the noise and take a moment for yourself, because skincare is a form of self-care. Pair a relaxing at-home spa day with one of the lovely assortments of teas at Treasures & Teas to give yourself the ultimate pamper session.
Sunlight Gallery + Studio’s Art Experience Sessions allow you to paint, laugh, and create a collaborative family masterpiece together. You’ll leave with your finished canvas, and Laura will later add her signature PNW mountain and gold leaf accents to complete the piece. Bring your people, make some art, and leave with something you’ll treasure long after the paint dries. They love MARKET for so many reasons, but it’s the best place to take kids to lunch while enjoying their outdoor patio. Can’t miss with the fish and chips, but their specials are equally amazing!
The Curious Nest features French antiques, local art, and curiosities. For Valentine’s Day, they’ll be highlighting antique and contemporary trinket dishes that span La Belle Époque to the present. They love Soaring Heart Natural Beds because good sleep makes for happier couples!
The Paper Feather boasts exclusive, in-house–designed Valentine’s Day cards and handmade paper flowers by local artist Farren Celeste. They’ll be hosting Farren on Saturday, February 21, for a paper flower and wax seal–making class—more details coming soon! They love Salt & Iron‘s delicious selection of steaks, seafood, and gourmet treats, including owner Jen’s personal favorites: a dozen oysters and a martini, her go-to happy hour choice!
Treasures & Teas invites you to enjoy a romantic ambiance with a cup of tea and a candle from Cerulean Candle Co. These candles are locally made and free from toxins, additives, and phthalates. They love the cozy crackling from the natural wood wicks! After your tea, head to Dusted Valley Wine Bar to complete the experience.
Vinbero says every day is Valentine’s Day with “Red Rosés”! They’ve picked out a few of their favorite reds and rosés to share in a taste-bud-tickling flight, featuring Arnaud Lambert Crémant de Loire, Quinta Milú Ribera del Duero, and Damsel Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. Try all three for $25. The Vinbero team loves sustainability, and few things are more sustainable than buying vintage clothing. When shopping for a fresh fit for a special occasion, hitting up Anchor Chic Consignment is one of their favorite ways to look their best while minimizing their impact.
