Best of Renton 2021!

A Virtual Celebration of our Local CommUNITY Leaders

The Renton Report along with The Renton Chamber of Commerce have partnered again to announce the winners of The Best of Renton. You voted last fall and on February 25th from 4pm-5:30pm the winners will be announced on this special virtual event. 

This year more than ever it is important to recognize those people and businesses in our community providing you with the best service possible. The people and businesses who make our city unique. 

To celebrate the Best Of Winners, The Renton Chamber is hosting an online forum as an opportunity to connect with the finalists and winners. 

Many of you took the time to vote, but it came down to a select few. They are hoping you will join in on February 25th to share in their recognition and learn a little bit about the people behind the magic. The ones who make living in Renton so gosh darn great. 

 

Follow this link to register and reserve your spot to join in on the fun.

 

The Renton Chamber takes pride in rewarding and recognizing those in our community who continuously aspire to help and serve. Excited to congratulate this year's Best Of winners who spend so much of their time caring for others.

 

It’s the businesses that offer the best service, pay attention to details, and have the most helpful and eager employees. It’s the people who volunteer their time to help lift those around them by offering the most precious gift of time. 

 

Below is a list of finalists in each category. Want to know who the winner is? Then register for this exciting online event.
