Thanks to our friends over at Crosscut, here's a handy map highlighting all the gay marriage-friendly places in the area. If you're in that number and not on the list, Crosscut is urging you to get in touch with them to be added.

We're also working on highlighting great packages that come across our desk, like this one from the Edgewater as well as the I Do for Two package from Willows Lodge in Woodinville, which includes an overnight stay, the wedding site, two witnesses (if needed), immediate access to an officiant, a rose petal drawn bath, a bottle of champagne, breakfast in bed for two and a commemorative Willow’s Lodge frame, starting at $320.

The MV Skansonia  and  The Lake Union Cafe & Bakery are both opening their doors on December 9, with a very special event in support and celebration of same-sex marriage.
