Puget Sound Business Journal has named Heritage Bank as the silver award winner in the large business category of Washington's Best Workplaces.

The Puget Sound Business Journal's Washington's Best Workplaces was launched in 2007 to identify and recognize best practices in the hiring and retention of great people. Surveys by nominee-company employees across the state were submitted and finalists were chosen in four different categories; Small Business, Medium Business, Large Business, and Nonprofit Organization categories.

Nearly 200 companies were nominated with 66 companies being selected as finalists as Washington's best based on their various employee benefit offerings, leadership culture and work/life balance philosophies. The finalists - 21 small companies, 20 medium-sized companies, 20 large companies, and five nonprofits - were celebrated at a one-of-a-kind awards event at Safeco Field on August 20, 2009.
