Northwest Medical Arts Nominated as Best Med Spa in the Pacific Northwest by the Seattle Times
Award-winning medical spa featured in 5 Categories; Best of the PNW Voting from June 9-27, 2025

University Place, WA – June 9, 2025 – Northwest Medical Arts (NWMA), an award-winning medical spa, has been honored by The Seattle Times’ 2025 “Best in the PNW,” securing top recognition in five categories. As a first-time nominee, this prestigious acknowledgment underscores NWMA’s commitment to excellence in patient care, community engagement, and innovative aesthetics.
The Seattle Times’ “Best in the PNW” awards celebrate outstanding businesses, individuals, and organizations across the Pacific Northwest. Last year, over 500,000 votes were cast across 290 categories. The public is encouraged to vote at www.votethepnw.com/nwma. 
Northwest Medical Arts is now on the ballot for Best in the PNW: 

Best Med-Spa
Best Facials
Best Weight Loss Center
Best Wellness/Nutrition Program
Best Customer Service

Voting will begin at Noon on Monday, June 9, and will conclude at 5:00 pm on Friday, June 27. Ballots may be submitted once per day, per person.
Since its inception in April 2023, NWMA has become a cornerstone in the South Sound community. Co-owners and nurse practitioners Shanti Benoit and Heather Grods have combined their 17 years of experience to offer top-tier aesthetic services, including Botox, laser hair removal, dermal fillers, HALO hybrid fractional laser, GLP-1 weight loss plans, custom treatments. Clients love having many same day appointments available, free parking, and knowledgeable providers in a discreet, elevated spa setting. 
Beyond clinical excellence, NWMA is deeply invested in community initiatives. Their “Impact Circle” membership program channels a portion of proceeds to local nonprofits, supporting causes from PTSD awareness to child welfare including:

The Claire Bear Foundation 
Rebuilding Hope
Eloise’s Cooking Pot
Multicultural Child & Family Hope Center
Permission to Start Dreaming Foundation 
Joy Thru Tears Foundation 
Associated Ministries 

“Being recognized by the Seattle Times in five categories is a testament to our team’s dedication and the trust our community places in us,” said Shanti Benoit, ARNP. “We’re honored to serve our clients and contribute positively to the region we call home.” 
ARNP Heather Grods adds, “It’s not often a South Sound business claims a spot as the best in the Pacific Northwest, but we know it is our duty to our clients and our community to strive for excellence.”
