At the same time, we expanded into new markets and increased our market share within existing communities. We promoted a number of employees whose skills enhanced our ability to serve our customers. The dedicated team effort to meet the needs of our community has resulted in significant growth and increased earnings for shareholders. our in Northrim ended the year with earnings of $32.9 million. Total assets increased to $2.12 billion, up 29% from a year ago, while total revenue for the year increased 32% to $134 million from 2019. Increased production in our Home Mortgage Lending segment, core loan and deposit growth, and income from the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans contributed to our profitability. Northrim’s participation in the PPP helped our customers and the community during a very challenging time. We were one of the first banks in Alaska to offer PPP loans to non-customers as well as existing customers. In an inspiring display of teamwork and commitment, our employees came together to process these loans in a short period of time. At the end of 2020, Northrim had originated more PPP loans in Alaska than any other financial institution in the state, funding 23% of all PPP loans in Alaska, and helping nearly 2,900 local businesses receive critical PPP funding. Our team is focused on developing full banking relationships with our new PPP customers, which was a primary contributor to both core deposit and loan growth in 2020. Total deposits were $1.82 billion at year-end, up 33% from a year ago. Portfolio loans were $1.44 billion, up 38% from 2019. Excluding the impact from PPP, our portfolio loans at year-end were $1.14 billion, up 9% from a year ago. Despite historic-low interest rates, interest income benefited from the loan portfolio growth. Net interest income for 2020 was $70.7 million, up 10% from 2019, and our net interest margin remains above peer average. Low interest rates drove mortgage loan volume at our wholly owned subsidiary, Residential Mortgage Lending, LLC, which generated 89% more production in 2020 compared to 2019. Home mortgage lending provided 42% of total revenue and 53% of earnings in 2020. 1 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Loan portfolio quality improved throughout the year, due to early communication with our customers. Each situation being unique, we worked with our customers to provide loan accommodations when applicable, including interest only and deferral options for loan payments. Our 2020 efforts increased Northrim’s market share across all of our markets. We also expanded our Alaska footprint, opening a loan production office in Kodiak to complement the existing Residential Mortgage office and meet the banking needs of this community. Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements needed to be categorized as “well-capitalized.” We resumed our stock repurchase program, repurchasing a total of 327,000 shares. We also increased our shareholder dividend by 10% in 2020, in a continuing effort to increase the returns to our shareholders. Our significant investments in technology and people enabled us to successfully operate and grow in this dramatically different year. The IT infrastructure and disaster response plans we had in place allowed us to quickly transition to serving our customers virtually, while safeguarding our customers and employees. Those investments, coupled with our core value of Superior Customer First Service, tremendous teamwork, and long-term relationships, helped us achieve our results in 2020. In a difficult year, we were able to offer additional support to our community through contributions to nonprofits, business organizations and the University of Alaska. We continued to advocate for policies that support a stable, sustainable fiscal environment for the growth and long-term success of the state we call home. “Our people are our greatest strength, and the foundation on which our success is built.” This quote, by Northrim charter employee and original Chief Financial Officer Chris Knudson, was true the day we opened our doors 30 years ago, and the events, challenges and successes of 2020 proved it is still true today. We are deeply proud and appreciative of the people who make up our Northrim family, and we look forward to working together to continually grow and serve the people and businesses of Alaska.

We moved into the current Northrim Building headquarters in April 1991. 30 YEARS OF SUPERIOR CUSTOMER FIRST SERVICE Northrim Bank was born 30 years ago, as Alaska was coming out of a recession and was started by longtime Alaskans to serve the Alaskan community. In 2020, the Bank marked our 30th anniversary as Alaska – and the world – reacted to a global pandemic. environment. Recent technology investments including a new core operating system, loan origination system, expanded electronic banking services, and online account opening capabilities allow us to continuously and effectively serve the needs of our customers. Over the past three decades, Northrim has grown from a parking lot trailer and $8 million in capital, to one of Alaska’s leading community banks, with 17 banking offices and over $2 billion in assets. This growth, through times of adversity and opportunity, is a testament to the Bank’s resiliency, flexibility, responsiveness and teamwork, and our steadfast dedication to our core value of Superior Customer First Service. The commitment to providing a consistently high level of customer service, while safeguarding the health of our customers and employees, is at the heart of our response to the pandemic. Infrastructure investments over the past several years enabled us to quickly adapt our operations to a virtual Investments in our people and processes also facilitated the Bank’s response to operational changes due to the pandemic. As part of regular contingency planning, our disaster recovery team guided Bank employees through a pandemic exercise in late 2019. When a pandemic began just a few months later, employees were prepared to use their training. Recognizing that many of our employees were also facing challenging personal circumstances, we prioritized overall employee wellbeing through our wellness program, flexible schedules and other accommodations. This support, in turn, enabled our employees to continue to be attentive to our customers. 1994 Northrim became a school business partner with Fairview Elementary School, one of our longest-running partnerships. Since then, we have developed similar relationships in many of the communities we serve. 1995 Northrim became the first financial institution in Alaska to have an Internet homepage, in an early example of our ongoing commitment to investing in technology for the convenience and security of our customers. HONORING 30 YEARS 6 AL ASK A’S LEADING PROVIDER OF PPP LOANS From our beginning 30 years ago, Northrim has focused on helping our customers find opportunities within challenges. In 2020, the economic impacts of the pandemic created significant challenges for many Alaska businesses. We utilized resources available to support businesses, from additional financing, to restructuring existing payments, to using government programs, like the PPP. Driven to aid as many businesses as possible, Northrim was one of the first banks in Alaska to offer PPP loans to both customers and non-customers. We were active in communicating with Alaska businesses, and ultimately built many new customer relationships. Already an SBA-approved lender, we gained knowledge of the PPP requirements so we could lead businesses efficiently and effectively through the complex and rapidly evolving process. We leveraged our loan origination software, first introduced internally in 2019, partnering with our software vendor to customize it for PPP loans. This investment enabled us to process applications within an extremely tight timeframe. The ability to open new accounts online and the use of electronic signatures further increased efficiency while safeguarding customers’ and employees’ health. The high number of PPP applications and the short funding window of the program required us to find innovative ways to increase capacity. At the height of PPP processing, 200 employees from departments across the Bank were working around the clock to ensure applications were submitted and loans were funded within the time constraints. It was inspiring to see the commitment and motivation of our employees, coming together to care for customers and the community. As a result, Northrim was the leading PPP provider in the state in 2020, funding 23% of all Alaska PPP loans and helping nearly 2,900 Alaska businesses receive PPP funding, including 1,200 new customers. The Paycheck Protection Program was a catalyst for growth, including development of full banking relationships with new customers and enhanced relationships with existing customers. The combination of PPP loans and our commitment to Superior Customer First Service resulted in increased market share in all of our markets across the state. This past year, our deposit market share grew to 12.3%, an increase of 126 basis points from 2019 - the largest increase of any bank in Alaska in 2020. 1996 Northrim’s first Fairbanks branch opened, followed by the opening of our South Anchorage branch the following year. We have since expanded to a total of 17 banking offices, 14 residential mortgage origination offices across the state and a factoring office in Bellevue, Washington. 1998 Northrim became an original investor in Residential Mortgage, with a 23.5% ownership. 7 2020 ANNUAL REPORT ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++DO WL CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT OWL – much like Northrim – had humble beginnings, starting as a one-man shop in an Anchorage garage in 1962. Nearly 60 years later, DOWL has grown into a full- service engineering and related services firm with 430 employees and 22 offices in seven states. While DOWL has expanded beyond Alaska, the company is deeply proud of its Alaska roots. “We have maintained our small town values, while we have grown into a sizable West Coast company,” shares Stewart Osgood, PE, DOWL President and CEO. “We have remained an Alaska-based LLC that is owned and managed by our employees. While many of our competitors have been bought up by large outside entities, we remain fiercely independent.” DOWL has weathered its share of challenging times, such as Alaska’s Good Friday earthquake that rocked the state two years after DOWL was established. The challenges of 2020 were another opportunity for DOWL to demonstrate resiliency. “We have survived a lot of good and bad times and proven that we can come out stronger,” Osgood says. Northrim was able to provide support as DOWL navigated the uncertainties of 2020. “When the PPP was announced, we were one of the first Alaska companies to get our application in and our loan approved,” Osgood shares. While DOWL ultimately returned the PPP loan, “Northrim was there for us during these grueling times.” Shared Alaska roots and values were important factors when choosing a banking partner. “For a successful business partnership, relationships and values need to be aligned – we have that with Northrim. We are so happy being able to talk with people, solve problems and work cooperatively,” Osgood says. “We have always approached our relationship with customers like DOWL with a collaborative team effort,” notes Kari Skinner, Northrim Bank Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications Director. “DOWL has contacts in our Commercial Cash Management, Electronic Banking and Commercial Lending departments and within our branches, depending on their needs. We appreciate how DOWL approaches and values their banking relationship with Northrim.” “DOWL would like to sincerely thank all of Northrim Bank and each of its employees for being such a wonderful business partner,” Osgood says.

Home mortgage lending provided 42% of total revenue and 53% of earnings in 2020, making Residential Mortgage the Bank’s largest contributor to profitability last year. Interest rate decreases spurred a surge in refinance and home purchase activity at Residential Mortgage, which experienced loan production volume of $1.3 billion in 2020, up 89% from 2019. In 2020, total mortgage production was approximately equal between refinance and home purchases. Like the Bank, the Residential Mortgage team quickly adjusted to rapid and drastic changes in the work environment with the onset of the pandemic, and successfully served customers and managed growth despite the unique challenges of 2020. To handle the significant increases in volume with the same high level of customer service our company has become known for, Residential Mortgage recruited several new employees, adding talent to the team of seasoned mortgage loan officers. At the executive level, Residential Mortgage transitioned the role of CEO to long-time executive Steve Aldrich and the role of CFO to Chris Hamey, following the retirement of the company’s previous CEO and CFO at the end of 2019. With offices in Anchorage, Juneau, Kodiak, Soldotna, Eagle River, Fairbanks and the Mat-Su Region, Residential Mortgage continued to be the market leader, driven by the expertise of mortgage loan originators, responsiveness, and long-standing for a relationships, with existing customers accounting significant part of the activity in 2020. 2001 Northrim adopted our “Proud to be Alaskan” tagline, underscoring our dedication to be 100% 907 and to provide Superior Customer First Service. 1999 Northrim purchased Bank of America’s Alaska assets in the first of three merger/ acquisitions completed during our 30-year history, making us the only bank to successfully undertake such transactions in Alaska since 1990. 9 5 2020 ANNUAL REPORT GRO WING OUR FOOTPRINT AND OUR TEAMS In March 2020, we opened a Northrim loan production office in Kodiak, joining the Residential Mortgage office in that community. We recruited a seasoned banker and longtime Kodiak resident who is helping to grow our presence and customer base in that area of the state. Last year, we were able to provide PPP loans to businesses in Kodiak, sowing seeds for future growth. The depth and breadth of our employees’ experience in the financial industry and at Northrim is a tremendous source of strength for the Bank. Last year, two of our executive team members celebrated their 30th anniversaries at Northrim, and many others marked milestone anniversaries of 10, 15, 20 and 25 years. In addition to growing our footprint, we also continued to invest in strengthening our teams, adding talent in multiple areas of the Bank, in communities across the state. We also recognized talent within the Bank, promoting several employees to executive and senior management positions. Throughout our history, as the Bank has grown, our employees have grown along with us, expanding their responsibilities and moving into new areas based on their interests and skills. This longevity provides employees who have a deep understanding of the Bank, long-term relationships with customers, and strong teamwork with each other. Northrim’s 2020 performance directly correlates with our employees’ institutional knowledge; commitment to our mission, vision and values; customer relationships; and teamwork. 2002 Northrim invested in Elliott Cove Capital Management to expand product offerings. 2004 Northrim Funding Services opened its doors in Bellevue, Washington, to provide financial solutions to transition customers back to conventional bank lending programs. HONORING 30 YEARS 10 COMPLEMENTING CORE BANKING In addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other lines of business, including purchased receivables financing and wealth management. Together with our community banking products and services, these affiliates and divisions enable us to meet the full spectrum of our customers’ needs, while creating opportunities for additional growth and expanded relationships. Northrim Investment Services provides investment services insurance through Elliott Cove Capital Management and products via Elliott Cove Insurance Agency. Northrim Investment Services enables the Bank to offer a range of relevant, best-in- class financial products and services to meet the needs of our business and individual customers. Northrim Funding Services, a division of the Bank, purchases the accounts receivable of capital-constrained small to mid-size businesses, as well as businesses experiencing rapid growth or change. The division also offers financial solutions to transition customers back to other bank lending programs. Northrim Funding Services saw a decrease in activity in 2020, as many of its customers obtained PPP loans or received accommodations on their loans. However, the division was still able to assist customers as they evolved operations to sustain their businesses through the pandemic, providing responsive service and creative solutions. Northrim Funding Services contributed $2.6 million to other operating income in 2020, compared to $3.3 million in 2019. 2006 Northrim invested in Pacific Wealth Advisors and Pacific Portfolio Consulting to provide comprehensive financial guidance to individuals, families and institutions. Pacific Wealth Advisors is the holding company for Pacific Portfolio Consulting, LLC and Pacific Portfolio Trust Company (Pacific Portfolio). Founded in 1992 and part of the Northrim family since 2006, Pacific Portfolio is an independent wealth management and investment advisor serving high-net-worth individuals and families, as well as institutions, foundations, and trustee- or participant-directed retirement plans. Pacific Portfolio is led by founder, President and CEO Larry Hood, who was ranked on Barron’s Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors list for the sixth year in a row in 2020. The company contributed $243,000 to Northrim’s other operating income in 2020, compared to $305,000 in 2019. 11 5 5 2020 ANNUAL REPORT ++++++++++FAIRBANKS NATIVE ASSOCIATION CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT airbanks Native Association (FNA) began as a gathering place for Alaska Natives in a living room in the 1950s. Since then, FNA has grown into a nonprofit organization with 245 employees and a wide variety of community programs. Known as a powerful voice in Alaska, FNA has a deep commitment to improving the quality of life for its community by providing education, cultural awareness, substance abuse assistance, mental health services and elder care programs to anyone in need. FNA’s Behavioral Health Services department offers residential and outpatient treatment. Educational, cultural and parenting services are available to expecting mothers, families and youth. FNA’s Head Start staff and parents have been recognized statewide. And FNA’s Community Services department assists with food, case management and other basic needs. Under the leadership of Steve Ginnis, Executive Director, the organization works to improve community health, while also improving FNA’s financial health. Just 12 years ago, FNA was operating in the red with barely $4.5 million in net assets. Today, FNA has annual revenues of $25 million with $30 million in net assets, owns several facilities, and trimmed debt to achieve positive annual increases. Northrim has had the privilege of assisting FNA since 1996. What started as a line of credit has deepened into a full banking relationship, including commercial lending, insured cash sweep deposits, credit cards and retirement plan services. “From the beginning, Northrim was so accommodating. In the earlier years, no other bank would take a risk on us. They worked with us, even with our issues at the time, so there’s loyalty there,” says Duane Hoskins, FNA Director of Finance. “They come to us with ideas, they’re focused on local industries, and they understand FNA. We have a great relationship.” “Northrim is a community bank. FNA has a significant impact on the community.

Two areas of continued focus are affordable housing and advocating for state policies that support long-term growth and stability. ADVOCACY Northrim and our leadership have long advocated for a stable, sustainable state fiscal plan that provides a solid foundation for the businesses and individuals who invest in Alaska. AFFORDABLE HOUSING Affordable housing continues to be a critical need throughout Alaska, which was only exacerbated by the economic impacts of the pandemic. In 2020, we partnered with Covenant House Alaska and Cook Inlet Housing Authority to win Competitive Affordable Housing Program awards from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The approximately $2 million award will fund two affordable housing projects in the state, benefitting more than 70 low-income families, seniors, persons with disabilities, the homeless and at-risk youth. We were also recognized as an eligible lender in the Tribal Housing Activities Loan Guarantee program, making Northrim just the second financial institution in Alaska to offer these loans. Housing in Alaska’s remote communities is challenging to construct and make affordable to homebuyers. With this program, we have the opportunity to help many residents throughout the state achieve the dream of homeownership. We often take a lead in industry-related issues, such as our advocacy this past year against Ballot Measure 1, a proposal we believed would have had a detrimental effect on the operating environment for Alaska’s oil and gas industry, by changing the tax structure. The ballot measure was defeated during the November election. Our advocacy reaches further through our employees who serve in leadership positions for influential statewide organizations, such as the Alaska Bankers Association, Chambers of Commerce, economic development organizations, nonprofits, and institutes of higher education. 2007 Northrim assets reached $1 billion. Acquired Alaska First Bank and Trust, expanding the Bank’s reach throughout Alaska. 2014 Northrim completed its acquisition of Alaska Pacific Bank, to add branch locations in Southeast Alaska. The Bank also purchased the remaining interest of Residential Mortgage, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. 13 2020 ANNUAL REPORT SPINELL HOMES CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT pinell Homes is a family-owned and -operated company that has been building homes for Alaska families for more than 30 years. “Family is the heart of everything at Spinell Homes,” says Chuck Spinelli, who runs the company with his wife, Jackie, and children, Andre and Lauren. “The Spinell family extends beyond my immediate family; we’re a close-knit company. We are passionate about providing Alaskan families with homes. We’re honored Alaskans trust us with this responsibility.” Spinell Homes began its relationship with Northrim in 2008, when the nationwide recession caused many banks to limit loans. “Alaska didn’t experience the recession in the same way; Alaskans were still buying and building homes,” Spinelli says. “Northrim stepped up for Spinell Homes, and other builders, and offered the construction loans we needed to build more homes to support our community.” Like Northrim, Spinell Homes is dedicated to continual improvement, setting a high bar for other Alaska homebuilders. “By being part of a national network of homebuilders, we’re aware of innovative trends in our industry. We also work with the most talented subcontractors in Alaska,” Spinelli says. Customer service is also very important to Spinell’s success. “We became the biggest builder in Alaska by not only providing Alaskans with a home they’re proud of, but by making the experience enjoyable. It’s this commitment to customer service and satisfaction that has helped us build over 3,400 homes,” Spinelli explains. “It’s important to work with companies, like Northrim, that share these values.” Spinell Homes shares Northrim’s deep commitment to the community, supporting organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Children’s Lunchbox and AWAIC. “With our success, we need to build much more than homes for Alaskans; it’s our responsibility to create a community. We don’t just build homes here; we live in Alaska. We want to live in a thriving, vibrant community,” Spinelli says. “Chuck has built the ultimate family company serving Anchorage and the Mat-Su Region housing needs while creating stable, reliable jobs for many Alaskans,” says Joe Moran, Northrim Bank Assistant Vice President, Construction Loan Officer. “Northrim is lucky to play a small part in that for him.” 14 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + CARING FOR OUR COMMUNIT Y Northrim had a strong year in 2020, which allowed us to not only maintain, but increase our community support, branching out from our usual giving and opening up our focus areas to include health- and wellness-oriented entities. We continued our support of the University of Alaska statewide system, and made a special contribution to the University of Alaska Anchorage athletics program, which is faced with cutting several of its sports teams due to budgetary concerns. Understanding the drastic changes faced by Alaska’s nonprofits, we remained flexible, offering some of the organizations we support the option of receiving their contributions earlier in the year, and continuing funding to organizations when events were canceled or postponed. We remained involved with Junior Achievement, as well as our school-business partnerships in Anchorage, Fairbanks, the Mat- Su Region, Eagle River and Southeast Alaska. We found creative ways to support our customers and other local small businesses, and encouraged our employees to patronize them as well. Seeing the need created by the pandemic, we made additional contributions the Foraker Group, Providence Alaska Foundation, and the AK Can Do Fund to support the work being done to assist the most vulnerable in our communities. to Northrim employees showed their generous spirit in our annual United Way campaign, raising $140,000, an 18% increase from 2019. While volunteering required extra safety measures this year, Northrim employees continued to give generously of their time, volunteering over 1,000 hours in their local communities last year. 2015 Northrim celebrated 25 years of serving Alaskans and founder Marc Langland retired. 2018 Northrim opened Eastside Community Branch to expand to East Anchorage. 15 5 2020 ANNUAL REPORT ++++++++++support the local economy so our families have a place to thrive and grow.” “They wanted a bank that understands their business and what’s going on locally,” adds Jason Gentry, Northrim Bank Vice President and Lending Branch Manager at the Ketchikan Financial Center. “That is encouraged and embraced at Northrim. I’ve enjoyed learning and working with an industry so crucial to Alaska’s economy.” In a challenging year, E.C. Phillips was appreciative of Northrim’s help. “Northrim provided excellent assistance and expertise,” Cyr says. “The service provided to us in the short time we have been working with them has exceeded our expectations.” E.C. PHILLIPS & SON CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT stablished in 1926, E.C. Phillips & Son is nearing 100 years as an Alaska seafood processor. From its plant along the Ketchikan waterfront, the company produces a wide range of high-quality seafood products, sourced from top-quality local harvesters. “We pride ourselves on processing seafood in Alaska in an age where most products are exported out of state,” says Paul Cyr, E.C. Phillips General Manager. E.C. Phillips started as a family business, and has maintained that culture as it has grown. Similar to Northrim, the company’s family focus extends to its employees, customers and community. “We focus on hiring locally to help our local economy and families first. We also support local athletics and youth programs,” Cyr says. Also like Northrim, E.C. Phillips believes in the value of long-standing relationships. “A superior product with great customer service keeps our business healthy and our customers confident. Our harvesters can count on fair prices and knowing we are there for them. Quality starts with them; their success is our success,” Cyr says. Shared values and geography were important considerations when transitioning its banking relationship to Northrim in 2020. “We wanted a bank with a local presence that would be available to personally assist us,” Cyr says. “It is important that we align ourselves with businesses that are like minded. Sharing these values helps all to invest in the community and HONORING 30 YEARS 16 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++HONORED FOR OUR EFFORTS Northrim was honored with several accolades in 2020 for our work in affordable housing, supporting small businesses, and customer service. Our employees’ passion for making the communities where they live and work a better place shines through in projects like the Ch’anikna Commons. This was a blighted development in Anchorage that we worked with Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) and the Anchorage Community Land Trust to renovate into 21 affordable housing units, including five homes set aside for homeless individuals. We were honored to receive the 2020 Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award for the project, the latest completed through our long-standing relationship with CIHA. In 2020, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) named Northrim the 2019 SBA Alaska Community Lender of the Year for our commitment to providing financial assistance to Alaska’s small business owners. As an SBA lending partner, we approved 20 SBA loans totaling $5.87 million during the 2019 federal fiscal year, providing access to capital for Alaskan entrepreneurs, which allowed them to grow and create jobs. We demonstrated our continuing commitment to Alaska’s small businesses in 2020 as the top provider of PPP loans in the state. We were also named the 2020 Best-In-State Bank by Forbes for the second year in a row. Out of 5,400 U.S. banks, Forbes recognized 135 unique banks, with Northrim being the only bank in Alaska to receive the honor. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Alaskans by powering the businesses that power Alaska. 2019 Northrim opened a branch on the Kenai Peninsula. Soldotna Financial Center opened in the summer and is located next to a Residential Mortgage office. 2020 Northrim Bank reached $2.1 billion in assets. 17 2020 ANNUAL REPORT MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR PEOPLE Receiving awards and accolades reminds us that our success is made possible by the employees who make up Northrim.
