RepoRteR
We have wrapped up the annual Best Of Covington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond readership poll and the winners and finalists are listed in this special section. The increase year over year of ballots both online and in-print is great to see and I would like to thank those who took the time to vote for their favorites.
It is so incredible to see these great communities take such pride in their retailers, people and service provid-ers. This is what makes Covington, Maple Valley, Black Diamond and Ra-vensdale the great cities they are. We
had multiple categories this year where there were ties in the winner and finalist rankings. I would like to congratulate
everyone who received votes and also thank the loyal readers of the Cov-ington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond Reporter for their support this year.
After many hours of counting
votes and then bestowing the honor of drawing the winners for the great prizes donated by QFC to my creative design manager, Julie Black, I am thrilled to present you the 2012 Best of Covington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond as picked by our readers. A very special thank you goes out to QFC who generously donated all of the prizes to our lucky readers.
Polly Shepherd is regional publisher of the Kent Reporter, Auburn Reporter and Covington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond Reporter.
