You’ve answered the call and made your choices for the best Bothell and Kenmore have to offer.
The purpose of the “Best of Northshore 2010: Readers’ Choice Awards” is to salute the entrepreneurs, officials and organizations that help make Northshore the Northwest gem that it is.
We are proud to honor our outstanding businesses, restaurants and venues in the community that our readers consider “the best.”
Northshore is home to some fine restaurants, booming businesses and sensational schools, so the choice was not easy.
Bothell-Kenmore Reporter readers made their picks through online and mailed ballots. The response from the community was tremendous. We would like to thank all our readers who took the time to complete the ballots.
The awards are given in categories that included dining, shopping, service providers and much more. There were 44 categories in all.
We are very grateful to Russell’s for providing a $100 gift certificate for our drawing.
The winner of the gift certificate will be announced in next week’s paper.
We hope you enjoy the next several pages of results for our Best of Northshore 2010 and enjoy the messages from the businesses for which you voted.
So flip forward and enjoy! We are one great community here in Northshore!
