Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Benefit Plans Administration Committee
TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Tacoma, Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is presented fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of the Plan
The following description of the TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan (Plan) is provided for general informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
General
The Plan, which was restated effective January 1, 2010 and most recently amended effective January 1, 2012, is a defined contribution plan established by TrueBlue, Inc. (the Company) under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in Section 401(k) of the IRC, for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company. Eligible employees of the Company are defined under Article II of the TrueBlue, Inc. 401(k) Plan document and must be 21 years of age or older and depending on the type of employee, will have completed six months to one year of service to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended (ERISA).
Contributions and Participant Investment Options
Eligible employees may elect to defer a specific amount of compensation each year instead of receiving that amount in cash. The total deferrals in any taxable year may not exceed a dollar limit that is set by law, which was $17,000 and $16,500 for 2012 and 2011 respectively. Participants turning age 50 or older may elect to defer additional amounts to the Plan (called “catch-up contributions”). Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined contribution plans.
During 2012 and 2011, the Company provided a discretionary matching contribution equal to 25% of each participant’s deferral contribution with the exception of CLP field worker participants. CLP field worker participants received a match of $0.25 per hour not to exceed $10 per week. Employer matching contributions were contributed in cash at the respective year end for 2012 and 2011 matching contributions. The Company has the discretion to require that participants be employed on the last day of the Plan year in order to receive the matching allocation.
In addition, effective January 1, 2012, employees who perform services subject to participating prevailing wage contracts are eligible to participate in the Plan for purposes of receiving prevailing wage contributions upon completion of one hour of service, but not for purposes of making or receiving other contributions.
Allparticipants may direct the investment of their contributions, along with any employer matching contributions, into various investment options offered by the Plan which include a variety of mutual funds, a collective trust and Company common stock.
Participant Accounts
Participant accounts are valued daily based on quoted market and unit prices. Each participant’s account is credited or charged with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution (b) Plan earnings or losses, and (c) certain administrative expenses. Participants are charged directly with costs associated with the investments and loan processing fees, as applicable. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting
All participants are fully vested in their contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s discretionary matching contribution portion of their accounts, plus earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. Participants vest in the matching employer contributions at 25% for each year of service completed, with the first 25% vesting after the second year of service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service or upon death, disability or normal retirement age. In the event of termination of employment prior to the completion of five years of continuous service, for any reason other than death or disability, participants forfeit their non-vested portion of employer matching contributions.
All employer contributions to participants working under participating prevailing wage contracts are 100% vested at the time of contribution.

Notes Receivable from Participants
A participant may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account balance, with a minimum note amount of $1,000. The note is secured by the balance in the participant’s account and is repaid through payroll deductions over periods ranging up to 60 months, unless the note is used to acquire a principal residence, in which case the note may be issued for a reasonable time determined by the Plan administrator. The interest rate is also determined by the Plan administrator based on prevailing market conditions, and is fixed over the life of the note. Interest rates ranged from 4.25% to 9.25% for both 2012 2011.
Payment of Benefits and Withdrawals
Upon termination of employment, the participant is entitled to receive the vested portion of his or her account. If the vested amount is $5,000 or less, the account is paid in a lump-sum payment to the participant within a reasonable time frame. If the vested amount is more than $5,000, the participant must consent to the distribution before it may be made.
A participant may make a hardship withdrawal to satisfy certain immediate and heavy financial needs provided the participant has obtained all other nontaxable loans currently available under all Plans maintained by the Company. Participant contributions are suspended for the six months following a hardship withdrawal. A participant may withdraw any part of their vested account resulting from rollover contributions at any time.
A participant who has attained the age of 59 1/2 may withdraw all or a portion of his or her vested account balance.
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by an Benefit Plans Administration Committee consisting of Company officers and employees who are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.
The employee benefits committee serves as investment manager and trustee of the Plan. Principal Life Insurance Company (Principal) serves as the record keeper and custodian for the Plan. Certain Plan investments are invested in a Stable Value Fund (collective trust); transactions in this trust qualify as permitted party-in-interest transactions. The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan, except for the administrative costs of the investments and loan processing fees which are charged directly to the participants.
Forfeited Accounts
Forfeited non-vested accounts are used to reduce future employer discretionary matching contributions or employer administrative expenses. Unallocated forfeitures as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $2,561 and $10,110, respectively. In 2012 and 2011, $7,587 and $186,757, respectively, of unallocated forfeitures was used to reduce employer matching. In 2012 and 2011, $15,243 and $20,509, respectively, of forfeitures were used to pay for administrative expenses.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.


Page - 6





Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We apply a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Inputs are valued using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 assets primarily include mutual funds and TrueBlue, Inc. common stock.
Level 2: Inputs are valued based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. Our Level 2 assets primarily consist of the Collective Investment Trust. We obtain our inputs from quoted market prices and independent pricing vendors.
Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We currently have no Level 3 assets or liabilities.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2012 and 2011. There are inherent limitations when estimating the fair value of financial instruments and the fair values reported are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Plan’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are valued at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Mutual funds are reported at fair value based on the quoted market price available on the active markets in which they trade. The collective trust is valued at NAV of units held by the Plan, which is determined based on the unit value of the fund. Unit value is determined by an independent trustee, which sponsors the fund, by dividing the fund’s net assets by its units outstanding at the valuation date. The TrueBlue, Inc., Common Stock Fund includes shares of TrueBlue, Inc., and cash, and is reported based on unitized value.
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Benefit Payments
Benefit payments and withdrawals are recorded when paid.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated other events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were issued. On February 4, 2013, we acquired MDT Personnel LLC ("MDT"), MDT employees that transitioned during the

acquisition are eligible to participate based on their original date of hire with MDT. We noted no other events that were subject to recognition or disclosure.

Note 5 - Party-In-Interest Transactions
The Plan investments are managed by Principal. Principal is the custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, the investment transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan were $204,521 and $190,431 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 6 - Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the participants would become 100% vested in their Company contributions.
Note 7 - Plan Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 30, 2001, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been restated since receiving the opinion letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

Note 8 - Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for investment options encompassing various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and participant account balances.
