Matchmaking in Kirkland
Kirkland has the rare combination of a real small-town center and a big-city job market a few minutes away. Weekends are for the waterfront, Juanita Beach and the galleries along Park Lane; weekdays are long. Plenty of people here are settled in everything except their personal life.
We introduce Kirkland women and men privately and deliberately. Women apply at no cost and with no income requirement. Executive men begin with a complimentary consultation. Every person is identity-confirmed, and introductions only happen with mutual interest. A Kirkland first meeting often starts with a walk on the docks and turns into dinner; we are happy to plan either.
Where a first meeting might happen
Cafe Juanita
Northern Italian tasting menus beside Juanita Creek — a genuine special-occasion restaurant, open four evenings a week, so reserve early.
Marina Park
The public dock and pavilion at the foot of downtown. Watch the boats come in, then choose dinner along Lake Street.
Juanita Bay Park
Boardwalks over a quiet wetland bay, good for an unhurried walk and easy conversation.
Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.

Questions from Kirkland
Is Sterling Introductions really free for women in Kirkland?
Yes. There is no fee for women, and no income or professional requirement. We confirm identity before any introduction.
Can introductions happen on weekends?
Of course. We work around both people's schedules, and many Kirkland introductions are weekend lunches or early evenings by the water.
Will my information be shared?
Never without your permission. Applications and photographs are private, and we only share a first name and a short introduction once both people agree.
