La Conner Dental

Brandon Atkinson, DMD “Ready to Smile?” www.laconnerdental.com www.facebook.com/brandonatkinsondmd/ 721 S. Maple St., La Conner, WA 98257 (360) 466-3188

he Skagit Valley Herald is pleased to announce Skagit’s Best “Best New Business”: La Conner Dental. Dr. Brandon Atkinson is thrilled to work, serve and be part of the town of La Conner. Dr. Atkinson purchased La Conner Dental from Dr. Larry Quesnell last year and is eagerly serving the dental needs of the community. The practice specializes in dental implants and offers a wide range of dental services for all age groups. Kristi Cook, the office manager, says “Our highest priority is the health of each patient. We want everyone who enters our doors to feel like they are the most important person to us.” The practice boasts state of the art equipment including the latest in scanning technology that allows Dr. Atkinson and his team to clearly identify each patient’s unique dental needs. Brandon, as many of his patients call him, says, “I am pleased that we can offer dental implants to residents of La Conner and surrounding areas without the need to travel. Most of the time, implants are the best solution for replacing teeth, stabilizing dentures, and providing the least invasive, most esthetically pleasing results.” Dr. Atkinson’s mission is to help people feel comfortable sharing their smile and he understands that sometimes it requires more than just routine care in order for people to feel comfortable showing their teeth. His “can-do attitude” and positive approach to difficult dental situations make it happen. Dr. Atkinson says, “Our office is amazing because we don’t just focus on the teeth. As a team, we work to make our patients feel safe and comfortable and aim to become friends with our patients.” Dr. Atkinson knows that the caring work of his staff is just as important as his years of experience. Kristi and Ashley worked with him in Sedro Woolley, he and Michelle worked together when 4

he was just out of dental school, Belinda was Dr. Quesnell’s right hand, and Alline and Kealey are great finds from the local dental community. “I feel so fortunate to be able to work with these skilled and compassionate women”, beams Dr. Atkinson. Regarding being named a finalist for Skagit County’s Best New Business, Brandon said, “I am thrilled about it. It’s exciting and I am grateful to everyone who supports us and voted for us. There is a need for high quality dental care here and I love the people of La Conner. We have really felt welcomed and are excited about the new patients coming to see us. We have been invited to community events which has allowed us to be part of the great things that happen here. One of my first invitations was to be “principal for a day” at the school, giving me an opportunity to meet the capable teachers and see the outstanding facilities. La Conner’s small-town atmosphere encourages residents to get excited about what is happening. We’re really enjoying being here; it’s better than I could have imagined.” Brandon has long-standing ties to Skagit County. He and his wife, Kate, “…wanted a practice in the Skagit Valley because this is home to us.” Kate’s parents grew up in La Conner and the couple has been raising their six children in the valley for the last 20 years. “We love La Conner. Buying a practice here was almost like coming home...”, said Kate. Dr. Atkinson had a dental practice in Sedro-Woolley for twenty years before purchasing La Conner Dental in October, 2018. After buying the practice, Dr. Atkinson began a year-long renovation project; remodeling the back of the office and the exterior building first with plans to remodel the waiting room this fall. Dr. Atkinson’s passion for dentistry stems from a bad experience as a teen when he took his youngest sister, Lindsey, who has Downs Syndrome, to the dentist. Brandon knew he could do better; eventually inspiring him to seek admittance in dental school. He enjoys building relationships through dentistry and loves seeing families grow, develop and contribute to the world. He also enjoys helping those who are underserved. The technical part of dentistry excites him; he marvels at the advancements that have been made over the last two decades. Brandon says the most important things to him are “My faith, my family, my friends, and helping people. I am in awe at the goodness of people who live and serve in these Skagit County communities. I am on the board for the Sedro-Woolley Food Bank and am moved by the good brought to thousands of families in the area. School districts, local businesses, medical and dental professionals and attorneys in the valley are all incredible. I am so grateful to live here amongst so many amazing people.” Brandon invites anyone to come in and visit with him and his team. He loves meeting new people and proudly states, “We love to make you smile.”

3rd Street Station “Stop in, sit and enjoy a nice Sandwich, Soup or Salad in our cozy Boutique Cafe.” www.facebook.com/ 3rd-StreetStation-394687004422085/

227 E. State St., Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284 (360) 436-6252

he Skagit Valley Herald is pleased to announce Skagit’s Best finalist for “Best New Business”: 3rd Street Station. Owner Sammi Jo opened the cafe on February 28, 2019, which specializes in big, saucy, juicy sandwiches. Said Sammi Jo, “I’m not sure I can make a non-messy sandwich. I want every bite to be full of flavor and I want everyone to leave full and happy. No complaints yet on the juiciness so I think it’s a hit!” The full menu includes soups, sandwiches, paninis, bagels, gluten free Keto salads, and iced Keto coffee. Said Sammi Joe, “I know the ins and out of Keto pretty well and… it is a very hard thing to find when you are out… I want anyone to be able to come in and eat delicious food in my cafe, which is why I also offer vegan and gluten free options.” She is tossing around a couple of different ideas for breakfast items or fun dishes like waffle sandwiches, saying “I’m…getting comfortable with the locals and feeling them out on the things they want. I always get good honest feedback from my guests.” As far as other changes, the city is switching the cafe to road-side parking so she is considering extending the outside eating area to a larger, more spacious area. Sammi Joe is thrilled about being a finalist for Skagit County’s Best New Business, saying “It’s absolutely amazing! When I got the call, I didn’t know what to think. It was complete disbelief and then I got a little emotional. I absolutely love the amount of support I’ve gotten from the community.” Sammi Jo was born and raised in Sedro-Woolley and her entire family is from Rockport and Concrete. Said Sammi Jo, “I’ve been here for 30 years now and don’t ever plan on moving out of Sedro-Woolley.” 3rd Street Station is a “one-woman shop” but Sammi Joe knows she “…couldn’t do it without Shelley Perry or Heidi Goldsmith from the adjoining fashion boutique: Shelley’s Shack. If things get too hectic in the cafe, they are quick to jump in and help. She is also extremely grateful for the support she has from her boyfriend and his family as well as her own family and friends, including moms Susy and Tami Dellinger and her Dad who taught her how to “…cook bold, flavorful, nummy food.” When asked about her customers, she said “My guests! Oh! where to start. Never in a million years did I think I would have regulars! I get the most amazing, personable people in my cafe who are always open to lending good advice or sharing memorable stories. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people and a lot of their history. It amazes me how many people know my family and have so many great stories to share about them. Most of my business is from word of mouth and it just keeps coming. We try to keep a sit-and-stay atmosphere so people don’t feel rushed to leave when they are done eating and I believe it has worked. Every day I get to meet new people; it’s like having a huge growing family. We live in a great town with great locals. The fun part is meeting guests from other states. Always takes me by surprise when I hear someone is from North Carolina or Arizona or Texas and somehow they ended up in my tiny cafe.” 6

FINALIST

A.V. Skin Spa 2222 Riverside Dr. #750, Mount Vernon, WA 98274 Phone (360) 421-2192

he Skagit Valley Herald is pleased to announce Skagit Best’s finalist for “Best New Business”: A.V. Skin Spa. Owner Ali Vargas is a state-licensed esthetician offering a range of skin treatments and Dermalogica skin care products in his professional skincare spa. He works to address signs of aging, and problematic and pigmentation issues for clients of all skin types. Services include facials, dermaplaning, chemical peels, skin rejuvenation, lip, eye and neck treatments and anti-age light therapy. Patrons can expect to see results and to feel pampered in a calm and relaxing environment; many 60-minute treatments offer a light neck, shoulder, and scalp massage. Ali spends time researching the most current and effective treatments and skincare products in order to offer the best services to his clients. Vargas was raised in Mount Vernon; he is a Mount Vernon High School graduate and says that he has always participated in many community groups and events here. Ali replied humbly when asked how he feels about being a finalist for “Best New Business”, saying “I am honored to be in the top three of this category and have my clients to thank. I just want them to know that every decision I make for the spa is with them in mind. To be very honest, I was a bit surprised when I found out as I am a self-owned skin spa and I am also a solo esthetician. I don’t have employees or have staff. It’s a great honor to be in the same category as some bigger new businesses. This community and my clients have been very good to me. My business has done nothing but grow month by month.” Ali is thankful for his customers, saying “I have very loyal customers beyond belief. I always say that I must be doing something right because I have clients that come to me monthly, which is outstanding for facials. It has been really rewarding to serve such a variety of clients of all ethnic backgrounds and offer bilingual services to my Spanish speaking clients. My clients continuously leave me great reviews on Facebook and Google. I am so grateful and honored by every review.” Ali started his business just over a year ago, noting that “It was a very bumpy and interesting start in the beginning, working out of a very tiny room. My space has grown and now is a very comfortable space I would like to think. I was inspired to start my business out of my personal passion for skincare. I can remember since the time I was in middle school being obsessed with skin products. I was fascinated by what they could do to help people with their skin. I remember my first day of school for esthetics and opening my book in class for the first time, and knowing I was forever in the right place. It was a very rare and magical feeling of excitement. I chose to do a very relaxed and cozy style decor over a medi-style spa. I wanted my clients to feel like they are away from the world of rush and stress.” g oskagit. com
