Mickey, you can make a nomination by putting it in the comment box at the bottom of the story, thanks!

Best non-profit or service club. Best News media outlet....Patch.com gets my vote.
Bert Mills June 19, 2012 at 03:00 am
I keep going to Bonney Lake's patch. I would nominate Illusion Hair Studio for Beauty. Bert Mills - Financial Advisor with Edward Jones (although I may be biased), Homeward Pets for nonprofit, Pony Mailbox for services, Chalet Screens for window screens, Crossroad signs, Printcore for printing, Woodinville Florist for flowers, Woodinville Martial Arts for kids. I'll need to think about a few more.

To nominate a business or nonprofit in Woodinville, just go to that Readers' Choice story for that category and check the Woodinville box.
Arts-n-Carafes in downtown Renton. Best new concept/fun business (Painting & Sipping)

Bert - it may be your browser. If you are on a smart phone attempting this, try getting to a desktop. I had the same issue with my iPhone, but no issue on my desktop Mac.

Just so you know, when I click on Health/Beauty it takes me to Kids/Family. I'm using Firefox if that matters.
Jeanne Gustafson (Editor) June 22, 2012 at 01:39 am
Thanks for letting me know about the problem, jimu. I'll check the link. I really want you to be able to nominate your favorites!

Internet Explorer 9 works fine on this site.
Jeanne Gustafson (Editor) June 22, 2012 at 04:54 pm
I think this is fixed now. The link should direct you to the correct category. Thanks again for letting us know!
Debbie June 23, 2012 at 12:45 pm
I would like to nominate Spin A Yarn, located on 4th across from Rick Steves as the best yarn store in Edmonds and the surrounding area. I have been shopping there for over 15 years and the store is well stocked and the staff extremely friendly and accomodating.
Kathie Johnson June 26, 2012 at 01:28 pm
Please add "Best Gas Station/Convenience Store" :)
Beth June 26, 2012 at 02:36 pm
How about adding Best Wine Tour as a category.
Jeanne Gustafson (Editor) June 26, 2012 at 03:57 pm
Nice one Kathie :-) I'm not sure we can add a category at this point, but I like the way you think!
Spotlight Dance & Performing Arts Center June 26, 2012 at 03:58 pm
In the Kids & Family section could there be a best dance studio, or more general best 'place to learn something new'?
Bert Mills June 26, 2012 at 11:46 pm
Annie - what if the service we want to nominate is not listed? For example, how would I nominate Illusion Hair Studio?
Tara Stivers June 27, 2012 at 02:07 am
Hi! This is a great idea! I'd like to nominate a child care center, The Country Playhouse Learning Center in Enumclaw. Amazing place with amazing teachers!
Annie Archer June 27, 2012 at 02:44 am
Hi Bert, Illusions Hair Studio has a listing, here is the link, http://patch.com/L-jyPm

University Place : Service Nomination: Joyce Hill, Certified Residential Specialist Realtor @ Coldwell Banker Bain on Bridgeport Way ... She sold me my 1st house and 10 years later, helped me find my new one when I re-located to UP. Joyce is a delight to know and always gives fantastic service to home buyers and sellers.
Kristin Gulledge June 30, 2012 at 11:44 pm
As others have already commented, I keep getting re-directed to Bonney Lake Patch although I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not being that all of the cities are listed. Anyways, I will list my nominations here. All are located in Woodinville. Best Pizza Take Out - Papa Murphy's. Best Pizza Delivery - Domino's. Best Take Out - Matsu Teriyaki. Best Breakfast - McDonald's. Best Gift Shop - Hallmark. Best Car Repair - Long's Automotive. Best Dry Cleaner - Amanda's.
Annie Archer June 30, 2012 at 11:51 pm
Hi Kristin, even though you are directed to Bonney Lake-Sumner Patch, there is a list of all the Patch communities there. To nominate a business or nonprofit in Woodinville, just go to that Readers' Choice story for that category and check the Woodinville box. Sorry it's been so confusing.
Kathy July 1, 2012 at 07:44 am
Please include The Mad Scrapper in Issaquah-Sammamish under shopping
Henry Bischofberger July 2, 2012 at 07:25 pm
Is it possible to include Music Stores? Thanks
Henry Bischofberger July 2, 2012 at 07:39 pm
Wanted the Music Store option to be for all Patches if possible, not just Bonnie Lake! Thanks, Henry and Debbie
Nibor Ceenelo July 3, 2012 at 08:06 pm
Best Farmer's Market?! Edmonds of course!!
Jerry Gropp Architect AIA July 5, 2012 at 07:42 pm

Once again De Colvert's True Value Hardware proved its on-island worth to this retired architect/home maintainer. Wife Patty's trusty Felco pruners lost a vital screw that LargeLowe's could not provide. Mgr. Bill found me one from their huge screw assortment plus some "ThreadLocker". We will know where to look next time- on-Island. Something to remember. Jerry
Andrew Max July 20, 2012 at 04:29 pm
Love to have best Naturopath or Acupuncturist on the next round of voting.
Annie Archer July 20, 2012 at 04:33 pm
I agree, Andrew!
kirsten July 24, 2012 at 12:55 am
I nominate Downtown Hair Design & Co. for the hair and beauty catagory. Great group of sylists that offer a wide variety of beauty services! Im proud to be part of the group.

NOOOOO! A community Center with pool in conjunction with the school district first. The YMCA isRead More good enough but it is a corporation for itself, not for our community.
Melissa June 3, 2013 at 08:57 pm
There's a great group on meetup.com called Mama's of the Lake. It's for Bonney Lake, Lake Tapps andRead More Lakeland Hills. Great group!
