Nine awards were given to projects in Washington, six in Oregon and five in British Columbia.

Three projects at the University of Washington were winners, including Husky Stadium, Odegaard Undergraduate Library and Mercer Court Apartments.

Western Partitions and Performance Contracting were multiple winners, each taking home five awards. Projects were judged on design, jobsite innovation and/or conditions, quality of workmanship, use of materials and overall effect.
