Achieving New Heights 2014 ANNUAL REPORT (cid:144) (cid:144) (cid:144) (cid:144) i MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS When it comes to achieving new heights, our 2014 fi nancial fi gures speak for themselves. Net income was $17.4 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, and we ended the year with $1.4 billion in total assets. Our 2014 net income, asset, portfolio loan and deposit totals ended the year at the highest level we have seen in our 24-year history. Performance was strong in 2014 partially due to the completion of two acquisitions – our merger with Alaska Pacifi c Bank on April 1 and our December 1 acquisition of the remaining 76.5% of Residential Mortgage, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. One-time items such as these increased our net income, however, when we exclude these items, last year still topped our previous historic high in 2006. In addition to acquisition-related growth, we also experienced growth in our core business. In 2014, portfolio loans increased 20% and deposits increased 18%. Portfolio loans and deposits obtained in our merger with Alaska Pacifi c Bank represented growth of 17% and 15%, respectively, while core growth in both portfolio loans and deposits was 3%. We ended 2014 with a 0.64% ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, placing us below the average ratio in our peer group1. Net recoveries on previously charged-off loans of $636,000 also contributed to our fi nancial performance. In 2014’s low-interest environment, our net interest margin was 4.41%, which is above that of our peers2. By diversifying both our revenue sources and our geographic reach in Alaska through products and affi liates, we grew our noninterest income, which accounted for 27% of total revenues in 2014 and 23% of total revenues excluding one-time items. This diversifi cation strategy decreases our dependency on loans and deposits, and offers greater protection from interest rate risk. Going forward, we expect that the acquisition of Residential Mortgage will signifi cantly increase our noninterest income as a percentage of total revenues. 1Data from SNL, average 0.91% 9/30/14, median 0.76%. 2Average as of 9/30/14 is 3.86%, median 3.89%, same source/group as NPA data. 1 and individuals who comprise our state – and helping them to achieve “new heights.” Because, at the end of the day, we cannot measure our success without measuring theirs. Joe Beedle President & CEO, Northrim BanCorp, Inc. President & CEO, Northrim Bank Marc Langland Chairman, Northrim BanCorp, Inc. Chairman, Northrim Bank We remain highly capitalized, while continuing to make strategic investments in growth opportunities. Our liquidity, combined with our capital position, has allowed us to both weather challenges and to take advantage of the right opportunities at the right times for the benefi t of our shareholders, our customers, and the communities we serve. In short, this was a year of accomplishments that enhanced our franchise value through strategic acquisitions, as well as through organic growth made possible by our fi nancial position, our technology, and, most importantly, our people. While we are proud of what we have achieved in the past year, we also understand that “new heights” is not a destination – it is an aspirational, continuous journey. Nor is “new heights” limited to our fi nancial results; rather, it’s about the art of navigating the future and offering a sense of security in uncertain times. It’s about providing leadership and expertise to help fi nd solutions to long- standing issues facing Alaska. It’s about caring for our customers – and in fact, all of the businesses, families 2 2014 FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT Unaudited (in thousands except per share amounts) 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 Net interest income Provision for loan losses Other operating income Other operating expense Income before income taxes Income taxes Net income Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest Net income attributable to Northrim BanCorp, Inc.

This growth expanded our footprint so that we now serve the major population centers of the state, and also provided the opportunity to strategically deploy our capital to grow our community banking business and noninterest income. $175 $150 $125 $100 ) s n o i l l i M n i ( $75 $50 $25 $0 $(25) $(50) COMPOSITION OF NORTHRIM BANCORP Capital as of December 31, 2014 $173MM $164MM $45MM -$45MM -$9MM Total Capital Raised Cumulative Earnings Cumulative Dividends Paid Total Equity Repurchases, Equity Compensation, Costs of Capital Raises, and Other Alaska Pacifi c Bank Our expansion into Southeast Alaska through the merger with Alaska Pacifi c Bank marked the achievement of a long-held vision, as well as the culmination of the hard work and talent of our dedicated team, many of whom hold personal and professional ties to the region. A tremendous amount of effort went into the integration of Alaska Pacifi c Bank’s people, systems and customers with ours. The result of the six-month, in-house team effort was a successful conversion, with minimal attrition and no disruption of service. We credit this seamless transition to the fact that customers saw their service enhanced, enjoying the best of two well-respected Alaska community banks. We retained regional management and front-line staff, ensuring continuity of local knowledge and relationships, and offered additional benefi ts including increased loan limits and access to additional products and services through the Northrim family of companies. We are also proud of the successful combination of our two company’s employees and cultures. Early on, we identifi ed similarities in our company cultures, which played a signifi cant role in the smooth, successful integration. Now, we turn our focus to growing from the strong base already established in Southeast Alaska with existing customers and the community at large. FLIGHT PLAN 5 Achieving New Heights Residential Mortgage, LLC Northrim expanded our reach in the residential mortgage lending market with the acquisition of Residential Mortgage in 2014. We have a long, successful history of working together, having held approximately 24% of Residential Mortgage since its inception in 1998. Northrim is now the 100% owner of this well-respected mortgage origination company, which is one of the largest in Alaska. This purchase has been a goal in our long-term strategic plan as it presents another opportunity to advance our vision to be Alaska’s premier fi nancial institution, deploy capital strategically, and increase our ability to provide fi nancial services to our customers. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, there is now an even greater opportunity to be more aligned, strategic partners. It also complements Northrim’s emphasis on construction and land development lending, offers a new source of customers, and expands our presence through Residential Mortgage’s 11 statewide offi ces.

Our nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, increased in part due to the purchase of Alaska Pacifi c Bank. We continued to maintain strong loan loss reserves in relation to our nonperforming loans. We stay committed to our goal of growing wisely, which requires a balance between loan growth and credit quality. And as a full-service, community bank, we continue to search for and take advantage of lending and investment opportunities in the communities in which we do business, including areas of low to moderate income. Underscoring all we do is the culture of regulatory compliance throughout our organization and our devotion of fi nancial and human resources to the development of policies and procedures expected of publicly traded, SEC-registered companies like Northrim.

That’s why we are constantly focused on how to help our customers and community achieve new heights. of the University of Alaska, the Institute of Social and Economic Research, and the Alaska Small Business Development Center, along with many other nonprofi ts in Alaska. Our employees continue to be actively engaged in the community, giving their time to NeighborWorks® Paint the Town, Salvation Army McKinnell House basic fi nancial literacy training, Teach Kids to Save national program, and Junior Achievement. We hosted our annual economic luncheon in Fairbanks and Anchorage, and added a Juneau event in 2014, at which attendees heard from well-known experts on the national economy, as well as Northrim leaders who offered a state and local perspective. We do that by investing in projects that provide long-term community benefi ts, such as affordable housing and critical infrastructure development. By engaging in discussions and helping develop solutions to long-standing issues that affect us all. By supporting research that provides valuable insights into Alaska’s economy – and sharing that information with our customers and communities online, at events and one-on-one. By encouraging our employees to be active and accessible, and providing continuing education opportunities, so they can offer sound fi nancial advice. And by developing electronic and mobile banking solutions, and helping our customers minimize their information security risks. Fundraising and volunteer efforts are another way we propel community success. In 2014, we saw our highest-ever United Way contribution, with $148,000 raised company-wide through our generous employee giving as well as unique special fundraising events organized by employees in each of our markets. Of special note was the excitement and effort of our new Southeast team, who signifi cantly exceeded their fundraising goal. In addition, our annual White Elephant Auction raised nearly $12,000 for local nonprofi ts across the state. We also continued our fi nancial support Kicking off Northrim’s annual United Way employee fundraising campaign. Northrim Bank • 2 0 1 4 A n n u a l R e p o r t • 8 NAVIGATING THE FUTURE As an institution, Northrim has more than 24 years of experience with the Alaska economy. When you consider the combined experience of our people, that number increases exponentially. We’re proud to bring that longevity and knowledge to the table for the benefi t of our customers and state. We took an active leadership role in the effort to support Alaska’s oil tax reform last year, and we’re equally committed to being part of the discussion about fi nding solutions to Alaska’s current fi scal challenges, brought on by the steep drop in oil prices combined with the decrease in oil production. While of concern, the state’s fi scal situation is not new. The state and its citizens have felt the impact of this issue in the past; Alaska is a resource state, and price volatility is, and always has been, part of living and doing business in Alaska. The events of last fall brought this issue back to light with a renewed sense of urgency. In true Alaska spirit, we choose to see this as an opportunity to work together to solve a long-standing problem and arrive on the other side a stronger, more resilient state. We intend to be actively engaged in conversations about fi scal solutions, at the state, local and customer level, sharing our expertise, supporting research and education on the issue, and offering our viewpoint on how to keep our economy healthy.

Through it all, Northrim remains 100% 907, committed to serving and investing in Alaska. We’ll add value to our customers and our state by taking a leadership role, and knowing and understanding the challenges and opportunities of our state.

As part of our multi-year plan, we continued to implement technology upgrades in order to enhance our security, our effi ciency, and our ability to offer relevant, secure tools to our customers. The integration of Alaska Pacifi c Bank’s network with ours was one example of efforts in this area. Our investments in technology and infrastructure are further showcased by the improvements to the lower level of our Anchorage main offi ce in 2014. Through upgrades to this area, we enhanced the capability and effi ciency of our disaster recovery operations, communications and training programs. Specifi cally, the technology upgrades to our training rooms helped connect us to our employees statewide and improve our ability to offer remote training to our outer markets, some of which are accessible only by air or water. On the customer side, we launched our mobile app, which included electronic check deposit capture – the next step in mobile banking. The percentage of online banking customers actively using our app currently approaches 30% and continues to increase. In 2014, we also added another level of security to our online banking. Providing secure, convenient electronic and mobile banking continues to be an important emphasis area, especially for our customers in remote locations. In consumer products, we enhanced our already popular Jump-Up CD with special terms and highly competitive promotional rates, and executed a concentrated marketing campaign to promote it, resulting in both core deposit growth and more extensive customer relationships. Our customer referral and acquisition program continued to gain altitude last year, as referrals increased 43% from 505 in 2013 – when we launched the program – to 720 referrals in 2014. Through the program, our loyal customers receive 500 Alaska Airlines miles each time a friend or family member joins Northrim as a new customer – up to 20,000 miles per calendar year. We are in the process of relocating our Anchorage 36th Avenue branch to a more strategic location in the UMed (University/Medical) district. In addition to better serving this high-growth area, our new location will be a prototype for our “branch of the future.” We are also committed to opening a new fi nancial center in Ketchikan. Our “branch of the future” extends beyond the look and feel of our physical locations to encompass our people and how they work with our customers. Part of our bank transformation process focuses on empowering our employees to be universal bankers. In line with our mission, vision and values, this initiative will focus on developing employees who are knowledgeable and capable in all aspects of bank operations, and who are also active and engaged in the community. 11 Achieving New Heights i 5 1 0 2 g n n e p O - h c n a r B y t i n u m m o C s i t O e k a L Northrim Bank • 2 0 1 4 A n n u a l R e p o r t • (cid:144) (cid:144) (cid:144) (cid:144) Kahiltna Glacier LOCATION 12 ASCENDING VALUE Through Northrim’s related companies and divisions, we create noninterest income and protect against interest rate volatility.

And Alaska’s aviation history is filled with brave, smart, innovative pilots. These pilots knew they wouldn’t get to their destination if the conditions weren’t right. But at the same time, they understood they would never arrive if they didn’t take off. We believe this same spirit runs through the veins of our leadership. Since our founders laid the framework of Northrim, this spirit has stayed with us and has helped us to successfully navigate that delicate balance between risk and return. We are proud of the longevity and loyal service of our employees, especially our leadership team. With their involvement and expertise, we have come so far and achieved so much. Like any good pilot, we take the time to enjoy the view, but we always keep an eye on the horizon. For us, that means planning for the future. Just as Northrim wants to be the bank of choice for our customers, we also want to be the employer of choice. We strive to attract the best talent, educate them, give them opportunities and encourage them to innovate and grow so that our next generation of leaders can continue the legacy of achieving new heights.

Equal Opportunity Employer Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements This report may include “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, 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 Northrim BanCorp Inc.’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 our ability to implement our marketing and growth strategies; our expected cost savings, synergies, and other financial benefits from the merger of Northrim with Alaska Pacific might not be realized within the expected time frames and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than expected; our expected cost savings, synergies and other financial benefits from the acquisition of Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC might not be realized within the expected time frames and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than expected; and our ability to execute our business plan. 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 as those factors relate to our cost of funds and return on assets. In addition, there are risks inherent in the banking industry relating to collectability of loans and changes in interest rates. Many of these risks, as well as other risks that may have a material adverse impact on our operations and business, are identified in Item 1A. Risk Factors, and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Financial Snapshot Footnotes: (1) Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP ratio that represents shareholder’s equity, less intangible assets, divided by common stock outstanding. (2) Tax-equivalent net interest margin is a non-GAAP performance measurement in which interest income on non-taxable investments and loans is presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a combined federal and state statutory rate of 41.11% in all years presented. (3) In managing our business, we review the efficiency ratio exclusive of intangible asset amortization, which is not defined in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense, exclusive of intangible asset amortization, by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. Other companies may define or calculate this data differently. We believe this presentation provides investors with a more accurate picture of our operating efficiency. In this presentation, noninterest expense is adjusted for intangible asset amortization. (4) Number of banking offices does not include Northrim Benefits Group or Residential Mortgage, LLC locations. (5) FTE includes employees of Northrim Bank, Northrim Benefits Group, and Residential Mortgage, LLC. Refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10k available in the “Investor Relations” section of nothrim.com, for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial ratios to comparable GAAP measurements.
