Virtually every large Seattle area company took a hit in the day's record market plunge, but most outperformed the Dow Jones average.

Seattle's biggest companies weather the plunge a bit better than most. Alaska Airlines, Amazon, Expedia, Starbucks and most other companies took a hit, but lost less that the Dow Jones, which was down 4.6% for the day.

The exceptions: Boeing dropped 20.03 (-5.7%) and Paccar, which makes Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, lost 3.40 which is 4.7% of its value.
