ETHAN STOWELL
Thank you to Ronald Holden for writing the piece about Ethan Stowell [February 2015]. I think this is one of the best articles written about Ethans success and love for the restaurant business.

EXECUTIVE EXCELLENCE AWARDS
Congratulations, Seattle Business, on an excellent event! You have developed a CEO-level annual event that not only attracts Seattles top echelon of business executives but also brings them back each year. No easy feat.

In attendance this year was a good mix of long-established Seattle companies, small to midsize organizations, and a smart mix of startups and up-and-comers. With winners and guests ranging from Seattle stalwarts Nordstrom and Boeing to Apptio, Columbia Bank, Concur, DreamBox Learning, F5 Networks, Julep, Zillow and more, you are showcasing both where weve come from and where we are going as a city.
There arent many events that are able to accomplish this, and the Fairmont Olympic Hotel set the tone nicely. I look forward to seeing this event grow into the future.

You deserve an Executive Excellence Award for hosting another successful, top-of-the-line event. The venue, food, program (short!) and purpose made for a very enjoyable evening. The award recipients were grateful for the recognition. Thanks for the shout-out to [2013 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient] Jerry [Lee].
