Through compelling case studies, he highlights the prevalence of one-sided arbitration agreements and the systemic bias in favor of powerful corporations.

Puget Sound region's largest general contractors
The 37 largest general contractors in the Puget Sound region reported nearly $10.25 billion in local revenue i 2025. The firms have local offices in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. The online ranking expands beyond print, adding 104 general contractors 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 firms through questionnaires that PSBJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, firms are ranked by total employment and then listed alphabetically if ties remain. Additionally, companies that did not respond to employment surveys but were still included on this year's List are sorted by estimated total employment figures derived from PSBJ archives; annual filings with the U.S. Department of Labor; and other firm-specific resources. Inclusion on this year's List required each firm to have a minimum of 25 total employees, using the methodologies described above. For information about this and other PSBJ Lists, please contact Senior Researcher Brandon Sawyer at [email protected] or 503-219-3411.
