If anyone could be named the best of the best, it could be Alison Goodnow.

As the best massage therapist in the Valley, Goodnow was the top pick in a category many believe is one of the most important services one can offer.

Goodnow has been working out of Bella Vita Salon and Spa in Snoqualmie for the past two and a half years. She offers a full-range of therapeutic massages, including Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone.

Goodnow credits her repeat customers to her ability at gauging what people want from a therapeutic massage. Whether they want to talk it up or just relax, Goodnow said she wants everyone to focus on enjoying themselves.
