Washington state's 657 largest employers

The Puget Sound Business Journal's List of employers contains more than 650 businesses, nonprofits and governmental organizations that employ more than 628,000 people statewide and over 9 million across the nation and the world. Think of it as a census of every entity that contributes to the workforce in Washington State. This online ranking expands beyond print, adding 636 employers with 1 or more local employee to the 20 featured in this week's print edition. This week's List continues a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that emphasizes more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. This effort identified thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — last year alone. Information on The List was obtained through Puget Sound Business Journal research or supplied by individual employers through questionnaires that PSBJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, organizations are ranked by total employment, then listed alphabetically if ties remain. Government entities like cities, school districts and county offices are not included on the List.
