The King 5/Evening Magazine’s “Best of Western Washington” is a time honored tradition here in…well…Western Washington. It’s a chance for local businesses to be chosen as “the best” in their category by popular vote.
This year, there are a total of 8,700 nominees from all of Western Washington, and of those, 115 of them are Wallingford businesses in 73 different categories. We’ve put together a list of our “favorite” favorites so you can vote on who you like (oh, and, pssst…your favorite neighborhood blog has also been nominated. Just sayin’ because, you know, we wouldn’t want to be outranked by the Anacortes Scoop).
Each business listed below is hyperlinked so you can click right to their voting page and select the “Vote Now” button on the site. You have until 6:59:59 PM Pacific Standard Time Sunday, October 10 to vote. Winners will be announced on October 24.
