It’s here again, the Best of 2009 under Seattle Magazine. I have filled it out, have you? Even though it is a Seattle publication, I would assume the Eastside is just as eligible to win, right?
Here are the rules: Only one vote per person. You must include a valid e-mail address for your vote to count. At least half of the categories must be completed for your ballot to be counted. If we don’t receive a significant number of votes in a category, there is a good chance it won’t be published in the magazine.
Congrats to the winning team SKB! (Click the image for more picture from the event)
In my previous post I was rooting for JPC Architects and Statements Tile, but unfortunately they didn’t win, although their twin pieces were AMAZING. Here are some images from backstage…
