Matchmaking in Queen Anne
Queen Anne Hill has a settled, gracious feel: brick apartment buildings, craftsman houses, a main street of small restaurants on the top of the hill, and Seattle Center and the arts district at its foot. People here tend to know what they want — including, often, a partner who takes the same care with their life.
Sterling Introductions is a private matchmaker built for exactly that. Women apply free, with no income or professional requirement. Executive men begin with a confidential consultation. We confirm identity for everyone, and we only make an introduction with mutual interest. On Queen Anne, a first meeting might start at sunset at Kerry Park and continue at a table nearby.
Where a first meeting might happen
Canlis
Seattle's family-owned fine-dining landmark since 1950, overlooking Lake Union. Save it for the second or third meeting.
Kerry Park
The classic postcard view of the Space Needle, downtown and, on clear days, Mount Rainier — free, and lovely at dusk.
Seattle Center
Theatre, opera, ballet and museums within a few blocks, for a first evening built around a performance.
Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates, for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 98119 (Upper Queen Anne and Interbay).
Queen Anne is not a Census-defined place, so we use ZIP Code Tabulation Area 98119, which covers Upper Queen Anne and Interbay. Here, 54.5% of men and 50.8% of women aged 15+ have never married. There are about 93 unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women, and the median age is 34.1.
37% of U.S. adults say dating sites and apps offer too many choices (national figure). We offer one considered introduction at a time.

Questions from Queen Anne
Do you only work with people who live on Queen Anne?
No. We introduce people across Seattle and the Eastside. This page is about the neighborhood, but our circle is wider.
Is there a cost for women?
None. Women apply free, with no income or professional requirement, and identity is confirmed before any introduction.
How soon might I be introduced?
It depends on fit, not a quota. We only suggest an introduction when we see a genuine reason for two people to meet, and both agree.
