Mayor Announces 2007 Small Business Award Winners With A Little Help Video Mayor Greg Nickels announced the 2007 Small Business Award winners with the following statement:  “Local businesses provide the unique character that makes Seattle such a great place to live.  They’re the economic engines that employ local people and provide services throughout our city -- small business owners are my heroes.”

Every year ten small businesses in Seattle are selected on the basis of excellence in management, entrepreneurial spirit, customer service, and community involvement.  This is the 23rd year of the Mayor’s Small Business Awards presented by Wells Fargo.  The Mayor’s press release said the following about With a Little Help Inc and owner Marcia Ives. “With a Little Help is a homecare service that provides assistance with the tasks of daily living and has the purpose of encouraging seniors and anyone with special needs to stay engaged in life and lessen their isolation.  Marcia’s business has grown to a staff of 60 people, serving over 100 clients each month.  They are proud to be a leader in their industry and deliver detailed loving care to the local senior population.  Their business fills an important need in our community, and allows seniors to remain living in their own homes for a longer period of time.  Marcia says, “I had a desire to make a difference, be of service, and to do a job really well.”  As her business logo with a heart illustrates, this is a heart-felt business.”
