Matchmaking in Edmonds
Edmonds has a true waterfront, a walkable downtown and a ferry that still feels like a departure. It is a lovely place to live, and, like many small waterfront cities, it is not always an easy place to meet someone new — the community is close, and the circle can feel already complete.
Sterling Introductions works privately here, as we do in Seattle and on the Eastside. Women apply free, with no income or professional requirement. Executive men begin with a complimentary consultation. We confirm identity, and we only make an introduction with mutual interest. A first meeting might start at the fountain and continue with a table on Main Street, or simply a walk along the beach.
Where a first meeting might happen
Salt & Iron
A restaurant on Main Street in downtown Edmonds, close to the fountain and a short walk from the waterfront.
SPUD Fish and Chips, Edmonds Ferry Terminal
A long-standing fish-and-chips counter by the ferry terminal — informal, and easy to pair with a walk on the beach.
Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.
