Kitsap Daily News and The Bainbridge Island Review are proud to announce our reader’s choices for the best services, shops and eateries that make life in Kitsap County special.

The Kitsap Best of the Best is a contest between the winners of the Best of South Kitsap, the Best of Central Kitsap, the Best of North Kitsap and the Best of Bainbridge, with the winner of each category taking the title as the Best of the Best in Kitsap County.

We received hundreds of thousands of nominations and votes over the past six months to crown the winners. It was an unscientific, fun way to highlight distinctive local choices for the best in 150 categories. This award is evidence of the trust and respect of our community.
