Sign of the times…Seattle Times’ annual ranking of Northwest companies comes up short of usual top 100. Only 87 make the grade.

This is an age of downsizing. Companies are slashing their payrolls, people are trading their SUVs and McMansions for hybrids and condos, and the tumbling stock market has turned a lot of 401(k)s into 201(k)s. In fact, the whole U.S. economy has shrunk for the past three quarters in a row, according to government figures.

So, in keeping with current trends, the Northwest 100, The Seattle Times’ annual ranking of the region’s best-performing public companies, also has slimmed down. For the first time in the 18 years The Times has compiled the Northwest 100, fewer than 100 companies qualified for it.
