For the fiscally conservative bondage enthusiast, you can find one and two nights packages at many hotels. Try The Heathman in Portland where Christian and Ana spent their first night together. If you find you don’t have the funds of Mr. Grey and need a 50-Shades Valentine plan that fits an even tighter budget, just bring home the Fifty Shades of Grey Gift Basket and take your valentine out to see the movie. Which, frankly, looks like it might be more engaging that I found the book (and I NEVER say that!)

The Book Shops of Pike Place Market
I may not be much of a shopper but you can bet I’ll always poke my nose in a book store. And there is always a book store.
The Lanisters Have Taken Seattle
n George R. R. Martin’s wildly popular epic, A Game of Thrones, The Lanister family is rich, powerful, ruthless, and extravagant. Their sigil, or symbol, is a golden lion on a field of red. As a fan of Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, I was thrilled to discover my seminar and consultant meeting would be at The Red Lion. It immediately captured my imagination offering accommodations fit for a Lanister.
