South Whidbey’s own Pickles Deli is in the running to be the “Best Sandwich Shop” in King 5/Evening Magazine’s Best of Western Washington event.

The sandwich shop at Ken’s Korner Mall had more than 200 votes, which pushed it to first place ahead of Jimmy John’s in Tacoma, Paseo in the Fremont area of Seattle and Salumi in Seattle’s Pioneer Square and 150 other entries. Pickles led voting with 30 days left.

The website uses gmail, Facebook and Twitter login information for voting and can be found at http://best.king5.com/pickles-deli/biz/502735.
