“It’s an honor to be recognized as a top performing center and this award acclaims all of our team’s hard work and positive contributions in our community,” said Greg Shugarts, owner of FASTSIGNS of Kirkland. “We thank our customers for their support and trust and look forward to continuing to help local businesses and organizations tell their story using comprehensive signs, visual graphics and creative marketing solutions.”
