The Seattle Times contacted me to participate in the 'Best in the Pacific Northwest' contest. I can be nominated in more than one category (such as my business AND my Covid-19 awareness & support blog). I am SUPER excited and am SO grateful for how much you support me. I won't be notified when you vote as they keep that private as well as your information to the public because the Seattle Times won't sell or distribute your personal information. You won't be added to any email lists either, there's an option to select to keep you off any list if you choose. I will provide you step-by-step instructions (literally quick 5-min. form for each so 10 min. of your time TOTAL) below on how to submit me for both (the deadline is THIS Fri. [5/23/25] and said no cut-off time so I ask if you can do BEFORE that date that would ensure your nomination gets in).
