The winners are in. Years of tradition. Your chosen winners. Welcome to the 17th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
For 17 years, our readers have been telling us where they eat, shop, play, sip, self-pamper, and spend their time. This year’s winners represent the businesses, people, and places that make Whatcom and Skagit Counties as wonderful as they are. This year’s contest drew 393 winners across 171 categories, all chosen by a very opinionated community. Thank you for voting local!
