Washington State Largest Companies Earnings, Led By Microsoft, Amazon and T-Mobile, Were $29.505 Bil in 2016, Up Sharply By 20.5% Over Their 2015 Total Earnings of $24.491 Bil Under Obama, Yellen, Visionary Governor Jay Inslee, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC Website, I found the 26 Companies headquartered in the US State of Washington with Stock Market Capitalizations either very late in 2016 or very early in 2017 of more than $1 Bil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2016 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Traditional Highly Regulated Utilities Companies were excluded.

Below here are the reported Audited US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 26 Washington State Companies for all of the fiscal years from 2007 through 2016 where the earnings numbers were reported and also where they were prepared in a fairly consistent manner with those in the most recent years:

The State of Washington is blessed with having at least three excellent choices to be the next US President ..... Howard Schultz, Jay Inslee and Jeff Bezos.  I hope they all run.
