Matchmaking in Madison Park
Madison Park feels like a small town tucked into the city — a short commercial street ending at a public beach on Lake Washington, old trees, and neighbors who have known each other for years. It is lovely, and it is not a place where single people casually cross paths.
Sterling Introductions works privately, in keeping with the neighborhood. Women apply free, with no income or professional requirement. Executive men retain us for a twelve-month Signature Search after a complimentary consultation. We confirm identity for everyone, and introductions happen only with mutual interest. Here, a first meeting can be as simple as a walk through the Arboretum and lunch in Madison Valley.
Where a first meeting might happen
Washington Park Arboretum & Seattle Japanese Garden
Miles of paths through the Arboretum, and the Japanese Garden from March to November — a beautiful setting for a slow first walk.
Cafe Flora
A light-filled Seattle institution since 1991, serving vegetarian brunch, lunch and dinner in a garden atrium.
Madison Park Beach
A small public beach and lawn on Lake Washington, at the end of the neighborhood's main street.
Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.
