A total of 36 businesses in 12 categories have been declared winners in the “Best Of 2021” poll that introduced the Northshore News weekly newspaper and nshorenews.com website in late March.
We were gratified by the response to our mailer from residents in the Bothell, Kenmore and Woodinville areas where our newspaper is being distributed, beginning with this issue. The hundreds of votes were very helpful in identifying the businesses our prospective readers consider to be leaders in their categories.
Awards also were given to three oft-mentioned civic organizations that did not fit into the dozen business categories. Each of the winners was presented with a framed certificate.
Following are the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners in each of the categories:
