We are thrilled to bring you Cascades Best. This magazine showcases the effort to discover and celebrate the businesses, people, and places our community loves most – as voted by you.

 

Our readers and residents are proud of the communities they live in and know the area best. That is why The Bellingham Herald set out to deliver a “best of” program to help the community and support Northwest Washington area businesses.

 

Cascades Best has been a great extension of these goals, and we are proud of the voter turnout and engagement from local businesses. Cascades Best had over 2,300 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing to be named in the top three spots of 218 categories.

 

During our voting, more than 143,000 votes were cast, an amazing testament to how customers, fans, and friends feel about their favorite local businesses and the pride they have for the Northwest Washington area.

 

Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses. They, along with all our advertisers made this possible.

 

We could not be prouder to salute and pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted the best in their individual categories. Thank you to all the folks who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore CascadesBest.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Please make sure to congratulate them for being voted Cascades Best!
