425 Best in Business

Every year readers vote for their favorite businesses, organizations, and leaders in the Eastside in our 425 Best in Business online poll. Thousands of votes are tallied, and the winners are announced in the Nov/Dec Best in Business issue. And then we gather to celebrate all the winners at a popular live event with food, fun, and a spirited awards ceremony.

This issue and event are hugely popular and competitive and readers use the results to locate the best of the best in their neighborhoods throughout the year.

Women to Watch

Women to Watch is one of our most beloved annual events that is chock-full of positivity, inspiration, overcoming obstacles, and helping women realize that hopes and dreams can become reality.

Every year, the Women to Watch cohort (chosen from online nominations) shares their stories in the pages of the magazine and social media and then onstage at the live event. The event begins with light bites, fun photo ops, and mingling with other smart, successful, and savvy people at a stunning local location. Then attendees will be uplifted, inspired, and moved to dream big as the Women to Watch take the stage and share their personal stories.

Northwest Idea House

Over the years, 425 has showcased several Idea Houses masterminded by area builders that highlight innovative and sustainable design, new technology, and style trends. Most of the Idea Houses have been available to tour; all have been featured on the pages of the magazine, website, social media, and more.
