If you're tired of hearing about Valentine's Day even though it's not here until tomorrow, hang in there. Fran's drinking chocolate helps, especially if it's ordered at the Seattle-based chocolatier's new, Wonka-esque Georgetown factory, open today from 10 am to 6 pm. Food & Wine just gave the 30-year-old company a shout-out in its roundup of the best chocolate in America. Take the kids to watch sea salt caramels and truffles as they're made, then hang out at the factory's cafe for something sweet.
If you're north, Seattle Public Library's Lake City brach hosts an all-ages, V-day craft extravaganza from 3:30 to 5 pm. And for a coffee break, check out this video filmed at downtown's Central Library of the longest domino chain in the world—made of books.
