Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d) This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 24, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to update information provided under Item 5.07(d) on the Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 24, 2011 to disclose the Company’s decision related to how often the Company will conduct a shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 24, 2011.

As previously reported, in an advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, the majority of votes cast approved the proposal that the shareholders vote on an advisory basis every year to approve executive compensation. SEC regulations state that the Company must hold these advisory votes on frequency at least once every six years.

In light of the voting results, the Company’s Board of Directors, at its meeting of August 18, 2011, has decided that the Company will include a shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in its future proxy materials on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, which will occur no later than the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in 2017.
