MESSAGE To ShAREhoLDERS

Net income increased 17% over 2009 and assets 
grew to $1.05 billion at year end. Northrim’s profits 
grew in 2010 due to continuing improvement in 
asset quality, growing operational efficiencies, and 
important contributions from our affiliated financial 
services businesses. Nonperforming assets 
declined 37% year-over-year. Northrim continued to 
maintain strong capital ratios well above regulatory 
requirements, with total capital/risk-adjusted 
assets of 15% at year-end 2010.

Alaska has weathered the recession better than 
almost any other state in the nation, due largely 
to a natural resources-based economy which 
continues to benefit from rising commodities and 
energy prices. Alaska remains one of the few 
states with a stable fiscal foundation – more than 
$12 billion in liquid reserves and a Permanent Fund 
balance of $38.7 billion.

Northrim celebrated its 20th anniversary in 
December 2010, and we continue to execute well 
on our original strategies:

    Strong balance sheet with emphasis on  

capital and liquidity

   Diversified income sources

   Focus on asset quality

    Strategic investments in our business  

and our people

    Leadership to build Alaska’s economy

    Exceptional service and added value  

for our customers – we call it  
“Customer First Service” 

Today’s operating environment for community 
banks is challenging. Economic growth is flat 
and loan demand remains weak. The resulting 
earning asset mix, with more securities and 
fewer loans, puts downward pressure on 
margins – and while Northrim’s margin remains 
high relative to our peers at 4.92%, it is lower 
than our historical average. The Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 
(“Dodd-Frank Act”) imposed as a result of the 
financial crisis will add significant costs and cut 
fee income. 

While many community banks are struggling in 
this environment, we believe Northrim is well 
positioned to meet these challenges by skillful 
execution of our strategies with each decision, 
large and small, that we make every day.

In the pages of this annual report, we’ll highlight 
our strategies in action. Good strategy and 
execution underpin the value Northrim provides 
to our shareholders.  

As always, we appreciate your continued 
confidence and support.

A robust capital strategy has been the philosophy 
of the bank from the beginning. Northrim has had a 
stout balance sheet in both good and bad times – it’s 
given us the ability to weather loan issues from a 
position of strength and the foundation to grow when 
we’ve found the right opportunities. 

Northrim has one of the highest core deposit ratios 
in our peer group according to the Uniform Bank 
Performance Report. We don’t solicit deposits 
outside of our market area, and we lend money 
locally. We continue to have a solid base of local 
deposits, with noninterest-bearing demand deposits 
at 32% of total deposits. While loan demand has 
been slow in the past several years due to the soft 
economy, when demand returns we have a good 
“inventory” of funds to lend.

FoCUS oN ASSET QUALITY

Commercial real estate loans accounted for 46% 
of Northrim’s loan portfolio and commercial loans  
comprised 38% of the  portfolio at year end.  
The risk profile of the loan portfolio improved as 
nonperforming assets declined by $13 million year-
over-year and net charge-offs decreased by $2.6 
million, or 38%, during this same time period. 

over the last several years, Northrim’s executive 
and senior managers have dedicated significant 
resources to improve its credit quality by creating a 
Quality Assurance Department to provide detailed 
and independent underwriting of its largest loans 
and to develop processes and procedures to manage 
concentrations within its loan portfolio. In addition, 
Northrim formed an Executive Loan Management 
Group comprised of executive and senior managers 
to focus on identifying, analyzing, and resolving its 
nonperforming assets. As a result of these efforts, 
Northrim reduced its nonperforming assets by  
37% in 2010.

our financial strength allowed us to reduce our 
other Real Estate owned (oREo) properties without 
damaging the market. We put good marketing plans 
and experienced people in place and had accurate 
assessments of the market and the value of the 
properties. Through this process we have gained 
a greater understanding of development projects 
well beyond what most lenders learn. We’ve used 
this knowledge to change our loan policy, look at 
the key risk factors that really make a difference in 
a development loan – including local government 
requirements and restrictions and the skills of the 
third parties who are hired to do design and build 
work. We remain the largest strategic player in the 
residential construction segment going forward and 
expect to continue to be a market leader.

STRATEGIC INvESTMENTS

At a time when many community banks 
retrenched in the face of the recession, 
Northrim continued to make strategic 
investments to position us for success. 

We completed the first year of a three-
year program to strengthen and improve 
our information technology infrastructure 
to increase throughput and uptime 
for our branches, reduce expense and 
overhead, provide better availability 
and back-up of our data, provide 
greater redundancies, and strengthen 
our disaster recovery capabilities. We 
also invested in our core system and 
customer database to provide better 
functionality and information. We made 
improvements to our headquarters office 
building, which we now own, upgrading 
elevators and installing new energy-
efficient cooling equipment.

Northrim signed a five-year agreement 
with Intuit, one of the leading providers 
of personal and small business financial 
services, to continue support and 
development of our electronic banking 
platform as customers continue to 
migrate to self-service options for 
their banking needs. We also made 
investments in electronic fraud 
protection and back-end improvements 
to our processes to increase efficiency.

We closed one branch in Fairbanks 
when our lease expired, consolidating 
our operations in our newest branch 
located in a growing retail area. We 
also completed a major renovation of 
our headquarters branch in Anchorage. 
In 2011, we will evaluate our branch 
footprint and strategy going forward to 
maximize the value of our facilities  
and staff. 

The company made a significant 
investment in Northrim’s brand, including 
thorough market research, an updated 
logo, and an advertising campaign to 
build awareness in our markets, as we 
expect to rely more on market share 
growth rather than economic growth for 
the next several years.

Finally, we continue to invest in good 
people who understand the financial 
industry, Alaska’s economy and our 
customers. We have an engaged and 
effective senior management team that 
works together to lead the company. 
We’ve made strategic hires in many 
areas of the bank, and have invested  
in continuing education that has  
brought new ideas and perspective to 
our operations – all while reducing  
head count.

LEADERShIP To BUILD 
ALASkA’S ECoNoMY

Marc Langland and the late Arne Espe built a new 
bank from scratch because they believed customers 
wanted a different approach. But, they also wanted 
to make a difference in the state; to play a role in 
Alaska’s greater economic environment. 

Twenty years later, Northrim and its leaders continue 
to play key roles in the state’s economy. During this 
period, Northrim has invested more than $2.5 million 
in Alaska’s universities, including significant financial 
support of the Institute of Social and Economic 
Research for a multi-year project to model Alaska’s 
economy and educate Alaska’s citizens. Northrim’s 
managers lead and serve on the boards of Alaska’s 
most influential organizations. In 2010, Northrim 
launched the Alaskanomics blog to provide news, 
analysis, and commentary on Alaska’s economy.  
With contributions from economists, business 
leaders, policy makers and everyday Alaskans, 
Alaskanomics.com aims to engage readers in an 
ongoing conversation about the statewide economy, 
now and in the future. Northrim sponsors the 
Associated General Contractors’ annual construction 
spending forecast and the Resource Development 
Council’s annual conference on Alaska’s resources. 

Northrim and our employees support the 
communities we serve in many ways – through 
personal and company contributions, individual and 
company volunteerism, and community leadership.

INCoME DIvERSITY

Northrim’s strategic focus on developing and growing diverse 
sources of non-interest income continues to be successful for the 
company, contributing 22% of 2010 revenues. 

While bank service charges continue to be pressured by new 
consumer regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, electronic 
banking fees have increased steadily as our customer base has 
grown and customers manage more of their financial transactions 
electronically. In the next year, however, these fees may be 
significantly impacted by regulation. Loan service fees and 
purchased receivables income also contribute to the bank’s  
noninterest income.

Northrim has invested in financial service affiliates to provide 
geographic and industry diversity, grow revenues, and provide the 
bank’s customers with a variety of financial services to meet their 
individual needs. 

In 2010, employee benefit plan income from Northrim Benefits 
Group totaled $1.9 million, up from $1.7 million a year ago. We 
have been successful in making good referrals of Northrim 
business customers who are looking for advice in the changing 
health care insurance market, and many of our customers have 
benefited from lower premiums.  

Income from Northrim’s mortgage affiliate, Residential Mortgage, 
contributed $1.4 million to 2010 non-interest income, down from 
the near record level of $2.3 million in 2009. historically low 
mortgage interest rates generated strong refinancing activity in 
2010, which is unlikely to continue in 2011. Residential Mortgage 
is the leading mortgage company in Alaska, with strong brand 
recognition and an excellent reputation for service, which 
complements Northrim’s “Customer First Service” philosophy. 

our two wealth management affiliates, Elliott Cove Capital 
Management and Pacific Portfolio, also contribute to revenues 
and add value to our customer relationships. Elliott Cove provides 
investment advisory services to Northrim Bank customers and 
other bank customers in the Pacific Northwest, and Pacific 
Wealth Advisors provides investment advisory, trust, and wealth 
management services to clients in the Pacific Northwest  
and Alaska.

This report may include forward-looking 
statements, which are not historical facts.  
These forward-looking statements describe 
management’s expectations about future events 
and developments such as future operating 
results, growth in loans and deposits, continued 
success of the Company’s style of banking, and 
the strength of the local economy. All statements 
other than statements of historical fact, including 
statements regarding industry prospects and 
future results of operations or financial position, 
made in this report are forward-looking. We use 
words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” 
“intend” and similar expressions in part to help 
identify forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements reflect management’s 
current plans and expectations and are inherently 
uncertain. Our actual results may differ 
significantly from management’s expectations, 
and those variations may be both material and 
adverse. Forward-looking statements are subject 
to various risks and uncertainties that may 
cause our actual results to differ materially and 
adversely from our expectations as indicated in 
the forward-looking statements. These risks and 
uncertainties include: the general condition of, 
and changes in, the Alaska economy; factors that 
impact our net interest margin; and our ability to 
maintain asset quality. Further, actual results may 
be affected by competition on price and other 
factors with other financial institutions; customer 
acceptance of new products and services; the 
regulatory environment in which we operate; 
and general trends in the local, regional and 
national banking industry and economy. Many 
of these risks, as well as other risks that may 
have a material adverse impact on our operations 
and business, are identified in our filings with 
the SEC. However, you should be aware that 
these factors are not an exhaustive list, and you 
should not assume these are the only factors that 
may cause our actual results to differ from our 
expectations. In addition, you should note that 
we do not intend to update any of the forward-
looking statements or the uncertainties that may 
adversely impact those statements, other than as 
required by law.
