The number of successful companies run by people in Washington and worth more than $1 billion is becoming increasingly hard to ignore.

Particularly when a lot of these companies were only founded within the last 5 years or so.

Given the excitement surrounding Washington's venture capital industry, it got us thinking about the unicorn companies — a term for startups worth more than $1 billion — that have been founded in Washington.

We decided to put together this list of 10 companies from Washington that have achieved this status.
