We don't need some fancy foundation to tell us that our state makes great food. But who would say no to a little well-deserved recognition?
The Good Food Awards recognizes fantastic, sustainable, and socially responsible pantry items the nation over, and like clockwork, Washington makes out like a bandit, taking home wins for everything from pickles to candies. We've found that the lineup of local winners also doubles as a fantastic shopping list. Here are some great snacky items—perfect to gift or bring to parties—from this year and and years past.
