Matchmaking in Redmond
Redmond is where a lot of the region's work actually happens, and its population skews young and busy. New light rail has pulled downtown and the Overlake neighborhood closer together, and the evenings are getting livelier — but meeting someone outside of work remains the hard part.
Sterling Introductions offers a calmer alternative. We speak with each person privately, confirm identity, and propose an introduction only when we see a real reason for two people to meet. Women apply free, with no income requirement. Executive men retain a twelve-month Signature Search after a free consultation. In Redmond, we like first meetings that mix a little movement with a good table.
Where a first meeting might happen
Matts’ Rotisserie & Oyster Lounge
A warm, local favorite for oysters and rotisserie prime rib, with a patio and booths that suit a relaxed first dinner.
Marymoor Park
King County's large riverside park, with trails along the Sammamish River and a summer concert series.
Redmond Central Connector
A paved trail and park running through the center of town, easy to pair with coffee or dinner nearby.
Places we like for a first meeting; Sterling has no commercial relationship with them. Check hours before you go.
Dating in Redmond by the numbers
U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates, for the City of Redmond.
Redmond is one of the few places in our area with more unmarried men than unmarried women: about 111 per 100. 36.9% of men and 27.5% of women aged 15+ have never been married, and the median age is just 35.0.
21% of U.S. adults think the computer programs dating apps use could determine whether two people will fall in love (national figure). We rely on conversation instead.
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, table B12001 (Sex by Marital Status) — the detailed table behind S1201 — and table B01002 (Median Age by Sex). “Unmarried” counts people 15+ who are never married, widowed or divorced. Estimates carry margins of error. National figure: Pew Research Center, “Key findings about online dating in the U.S.” (Feb. 2023; survey July 2022).
