Curious to know which local businesses people here actually use and trust for things like repairs, landscaping, or even accounting. It feels like review sites aren’t always reliable, and I’d rather support someone local. Is there a good go-to resource for Skagit-based services that people here actually use?

Really appreciate you sharing this! I’ve been frustrated trying to figure out which local businesses are actually trustworthy without relying on random reviews. Just checked out the Skagit Valley Directory and it looks like a solid resource. I’m going to give it a shot for some upcoming home projects—thanks again!
Great question—I’ve run into the same issue when trying to find solid local recommendations. A lot of review sites feel like a mix of outdated info and paid listings, so I stopped relying on them. I started using Local Business Directory, and it’s honestly been such a good resource. It focuses just on Skagit County, and it lists local businesses by service category—everything from HVAC and electricians to accountants, hair salons, and auto shops. The cool part is that most of these places are small, locally-owned, and actually used by people in the area. I found my current handyman and our lawn care guy through there, and both were great. It’s just a lot more straightforward than scrolling through mixed reviews and ads. Definitely recommend checking it out if you prefer hiring local folks with real ties to the community.
