To the Shareholders of First Financial Northwest, Inc.:
Due to the public health impact of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) outbreak, the recent extension of the Washington State Governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” emergency order and uncertainty

annual meeting of shareholders has been changed and will now be held by means of remote communication only. Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the annual meeting in person. The date and time of the annual meeting, Wednesday, June 10, 2020
