Lewis Publishing Co., Inc.
To Our Valued Readers, This special magazine published by the Lynden Tribune and Ferndale Record celebrates the
Whatcom County business community and its many contributions to our wonderful quality of life. We all know this is a great place to live, learn, work, and play. It is our hope that after reading through these pages you’ll get to know these businesses, their owners, and their employees just a little bit better and have a greater understanding of what they have to offer. Inside our annual magazine of Who’s Who in Business in Whatcom County you’ll see pages of friendly faces—your neighbors—who offer an amazing variety of goods and services. “Who’s Who” is more than just a directory to the businesses that make Whatcom County their home. This special publication also helps to define our communities that are working hard to establish and build a sustainable economic future. As our population growth continues, so do the number and variety of professional services, retail opportunities and business-tobusiness outlets. Every year, there is less and less reason to leave the county to shop or find top professionals. A mere peek at these pages should convince you of that. The Lynden Tribune and Ferndale Record have always seen ourselves as an integral part of this community. We value this opportunity each year to publish these snapshots of people and businesses that make life special in this, the most beautiful part of Washington state. Please enjoy reading our 2014 Who’s Who Business and Service Directory magazine. We are proud to be associated with these fine businesses and professionals in Whatcom County. And, more importantly, as Lewis Publishing Company celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, we are proud to do business with many of them. Sincerely,
Michael D. Lewis Publisher
