The Readers’ Choice votes are in! S
outh Kitsap shoppers are a savvy bunch. They have their favorite places to buy clothes, select new tires and get Fido washed and groomed.
In this issue of The Best of South Kitsap, we’re happy to announce our Readers Choice Awards. We’ve counted the votes of our annual competition, and the readers have spoken. There were plenty of great businesses to choose from and the decisions were difficult, so our winners can be considered the “best of the best.” Our annual survey, included inside, spotlights readers’ top choices on categories such as the best place to pick up pizza to the best place to work. We were overwhelmed by the response. Hundreds of our readers voted in a variety of categories including food, fitness, shopping, services and much more. You’ll see that many of our past winners continue to provide top-notch products and services. But there also are some new winners — upstarts who are making a name in South Kitsap. We offer congratulations to the winners and finalists. Have a suggestion for new categories or other “bests” in our region? Please email Sharon Allen at sallen@portorchardindependent.com or Ariel Naumann at anaumann@portorchardindependent.com with your ideas.
