I have to ask people how they are coming up with these answers. This should be based on GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE, TALENT, BUSINESS, ACCOMPLISHMENT, VISIBILITY, & RECORD SALES.
How can labels solely known for sucess in Seattle be the best in the NW? JUS FAMILY, EASTSIDE, & BOW WOW (Until its recent problems) have remained more constant throughout the entire NW than any of the other labels mentioned. I understand that some people live in Seattle, or Portland, or in other places accross the country, but the NW is made up of 3 states, not 1.
Go take a trip to IDAHO and go in the store and try to find some of these labels your listing above...they don't exist in these places. Ask the people in portland, 95% of all Washington indy music isnt available in Portland or Oregon anywhere. Go to Spokane, Yakima, there records aren't there either.
Look at GETTIN GREDDY & STREET LEVEL, how are they comparable? who is more known, who has more releases, who has sold more records as a label? I aint knocking nobody, but the best in Seattle isn't the best in Eastern Washington, or Idaho, or Oregon.. that's a fact, make the trip and see for yourself.
PS. THANKS TO THOSE NOTING JUS FAMILY, BOW WOW and ofcourse EASTSIDE, the proof is in the pudding accross the board...

i never really get out of northwestern washington so i wouldnt know if the cds get out into other places. the first label i heard of from seattle was pointside, then i heard of SLR from a few ppl and then found their forum and got into every single release. SLR is a label where ive felt every release so thats why that was on my list. I know what ESM has done thru these message boards and Bullet and Kalyn were always around talking about what they were doing with their label so i was able to follow what they do. Lastly the reason why i put Jus Family on there is because Ive heard about them getting their music out to other places and Ive heard a lot in the town bout Cool Nutz so i figure hes doing thangs. The reason why Bow Wow or any other top label isnt on mine is beacause ive only heard the name, i know nothing about what they do or have done.
