We Celebrate
THE BEST IN THE PNW
Welcome to the fourth edition of The Seattle Times Best in the PNW, proudly presented by Angel of the Winds Casino Resort. There is a special pride that comes with calling the Pacific Northwest home. It can be found in the communities tucked between mountains and waterways, in neighborhoods filled with independent shops and restaurants, and in the businesses and people whose creativity, innovation, and determination continue to shape the region. Together, they give the PNW a character that is unmistakably its own. Best in the PNW celebrates those businesses, organizations, and individuals that have earned the trust and support of the communities they serve. From longtime local institutions to emerging favorites, each represents a piece of what makes this region an extraordinary place to live, work, explore, and connect. Now in its fourth year, the program continues to demonstrate just how passionate Pacific Northwest residents are about supporting local. More than 10,000 businesses, organizations, and individuals competed across 316 categories, generating over 1 million votes, a 16 percent increase year over year. More than 407,000 ballots were submitted, an extraordinary response that reflects the reach of the program and the pride residents have in recognizing their local favorites. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Angel of the Winds Casino Resort, our Presenting Sponsor, for their continued partnership and commitment to the region. We are also grateful to our advertisers, participating businesses, and the dedicated local team that helps bring Best in the PNW to life. Most importantly, we thank everyone who nominated and voted. Your participation is what makes this celebration truly representative of the Pacific Northwest. Congratulations to this year’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners. We invite you to explore BestinthePNW.com, discover the businesses and people recognized this year, and continue supporting those that make the Pacific Northwest a place we are proud to call home.
A Smarter Way To Stage. SUPPORTING CLIENTS
is one of the most rewarding parts of the work at Living Edge LLC. The company believes high-quality staging can deliver value beyond a single successful transaction by creating a ripple effect across a client’s business. Living Edge’s staged homes are designed to stand out in professional presentations, helping its real estate agent and builder partners strengthen their brands. By consistently bringing polished, thoughtfully staged homes to market, the company aims to help clients build trust and reinforce their presence in the local market. “For us, return business and referrals are the best measure of client satisfaction, and something I take great pride in,” said Larisa Kocsis, founder of Living Edge LLC. “The homes we stage accept more competitive offers faster. By working with us, our clients are tapping into a powerful marketing tool that converts.” Helping clients achieve consistent sales is fulfilling for the Living Edge team and can also build the relationships and loyalty that support long-term business growth. The operational complexity of the staging business is one of its most
challenging and often overlooked aspects. Balancing value and cost while meeting demand and managing a high volume of projects requires careful coordination. Today, that work involves a team, but Living Edge did not begin that way. Living Edge grew from a one-woman operation in 2022 into a staging business that now completes hundreds of vacant stagings each year. Continuing to scale its logistics and streamline its processes requires perseverance, with some workdays extending beyond 16 hours. Each completed project also provides an opportunity to incorporate feedback and improve service. Although it operates business-tobusiness, Living Edge never loses sight of how its work affects the individuals and families buying and selling real estate. “While supporting our clients, we support people at various turning points in their life — some reveling in a season of growth, some dealing with loss or going through separation, some downsizing,”
Larisa said. “Through our work, we can always propel them to the next level or ease their way out of difficult situations, and that’s all the motivation we need.” Living Edge places a strong emphasis on customer service within its businessto-business model. It partners with real estate professionals, builders and developers who view strategic staging as a tool for supporting market performance. The company looks beyond basic styling to focus on design thinking. With each project, it prioritizes three core elements: function, or how a home works; experience, or how a home feels; and presentation, or how clearly a home is showcased. Its staging is intended to give buyers a clearer understanding of how a home can be lived in. While aesthetics play an important role in home staging, taste alone does not always solve complex design problems. Whether staging a model home or a resale property, Living Edge works to help sellers

present their homes effectively while giving prospective buyers a stronger sense of how they might use and experience the space. Across its work, the company’s guiding idea is to provide a smarter way to stage. “Our staging is design-led, strategic, and prioritizes real measurable outcomes over vanity metrics,” Larisa said. “We always hear things like ‘the staging got more compliments than the house,’ ‘the owners fell back in love with the house once they saw it staged,’ ‘you’ve solved all of the concerns viewers had expressed prior to staging,’ ‘people spent longer at the open house and kids enjoyed the play area,’ ‘you’re a magician’…” Larisa’s professional background is in architecture, and her design education and experience inform her approach to staging. She continues to enjoy the creative side of the business and draws inspiration from the people she meets through her work.
