The BBJ's 2008 Book of Lists
Each year, the Bellingham Business Journal's Book of Lists compiles information on more than 450 companies and organizations in Bellingham and Whatcom County. These companies represent the top in their industries and the economic backbone of the community. As a business-to-business tool, these lists provide vital decision-making data, such as the names of general managers and owners, phone and fax numbers, number of employees and annual revenue numbers. The lists are ranked to represent the top 10 to 25 businesses in their industry.
Every effort is made to bring our readers the most accurate and up-to-date information. The lists are based on information gathered by our reporters during the months prior to our January publication date, and some lists are also published in the newspaper in the September through December issues. There is no charge to be included in the lists.
