P.S. You can visit Viscon Cellars on Valentne’s night too – the regular Friday hours are 5 pm-9 pm.

6:49 PM: We’ve also been to Verity Credit Union (4505 California SW; WSB sponsor) where not only do they have chocolate – you can meet its maker!

That’s Chef Michael Poole of Hot Chocolat Artisan Firehouse Chocolates – featured here back in 2014.

He has had a career as a Seattle Fire Department lieutenant as well as a classically trained chef. Also at Verity, artist Christopher Kelleher:

He’s painting as well as creating 3-D art – free glasses with purchases!

8:05 PM: We also stopped by Click! Design That Fits (4540 California SW; WSB sponsor),featuring Rachel Austin‘s adorable art this month:

Much of it incorporates local maps, including West Seattle, so it’s a very local gift – miniatures available as well as larger prints. Click! is open on Valentine’s Day (tomorrow!) 11 am-7 pm.
