Guardian Roofing was chosen as one of the top 100 fastest growing businesses for 2022 by the Puget Sound Business Journal.
The Puget Sound Business Journal has released the first look at its annual 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list.
The past two and a half years have been anything but business as usual. The pandemic introduced new realities that upended entire industries and fueled others.
The Puget Sound Business Journal’s 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies provides a unique snapshot of what businesses in the state thrived during the pandemic.
The companies on this year’s list grew revenue by 153% on average between 2019 and 2021. A few even experienced revenue increases of more than 1,000%, and at first glance, it’s easy to see why these grew.
Companies in the logistics and supply chain sectors earned more than $2.3 billion in 2021 revenue, a 144% increase from 2019 revenue.
Moreover, the growth continues to touch different areas of the state. Seattle is still the city on top, but its share of companies on our Fastest-Growing Private Companies List decreased for the fifth year in a row. A quarter of the companies have headquarters in Bellevue. Renton, Snohomish and Vancouver each have three companies on the list.

In order to qualify for the List, companies must be headquartered in Washington state. The companies are privately owned and reported at least $500,000 in 2019 revenue.
