Celebrate SLU 2022

Every year, the SLU Chamber nominates businesses in five categories to be recognized for their contributions to the community. These contributions range from hosting community events, raising funds for local causes, supporting advocacy on important issues, and volunteerism. Celebrate SLU is all about honoring those who work hard to make South Lake Union thrive.

“The SLU Chamber is thrilled that Celebrate SLU will return to an in-person event for the first time since 2020! This year’s event will be at the Amazon Meeting Center on Thursday, July 13, and will feature music, guest speakers from the community, and so much more. We can’t wait to be together again as a community as we Celebrate SLU and announce the Best of SLU 2022,” said Natalie Dewey-Smith, marketing and engagement manager for the SLU Chamber.

Here are this year’s nominees:

Restaurant of the Year: BaBar, Café Hagen, Mighty-O Donuts
