Areas we serve  ·  Seattle, the Eastside, Edmonds & the South Sound

Introductions, close to home.

We arrange private, identity-confirmed introductions across the Seattle area. Women apply free, wherever they live.

Where we make introductions

Every neighborhood dates a little differently. A Capitol Hill evening is not a Medina one, and a Tacoma first meeting may not need a bridge at all. Choose an area to read how we work there, a few places we like for a first meeting, and what the Census says about single life in that community. For longer lists of restaurants, bars and walks, see our date-spot guides.

Bookshops, cocktail bars and Volunteer Park's old conservatory. The liveliest neighborhood in Seattle — and plenty of people here are tired of the apps.

30% of U.S. adults say they have ever used a dating site or app (national figure).

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, tables B12001 (Sex by Marital Status, the detailed table behind S1201) and B01002 (Median Age by Sex); each area page links to its exact table. “Unmarried” counts people 15+ who are never married, widowed or divorced. Estimates carry margins of error, particularly for small places such as Medina. National figure: Pew Research Center, “Key findings about online dating in the U.S.” (Feb. 2023; survey July 2022).
