It was a highly unusual outcome for the NW Natural Parade of Home awards with two companies splitting the 18 prizes up for grabs. In fact, the results for Industry Awards and People’s Choice awards were identical for eight of the nine categories.

“Both the NW Natural Parade of Homes and the Columbia Credit Union Remodeled Homes Tour successfully showcased the high-caliber work of our members. We appreciated the community’s enthusiastic support of these signature BIA events,” shared BIA President Aaron Marvin. “It’s always fun to see which projects catch the eye of voters and the participants were definitely enjoying the friendly competition this year!”
