In many business bankruptcies, the retirement accounts are not protected. I would contact the State Bankruptcy Court of Oregon and ask if the company did file for bankruptcy and where you could obtain copies of the public records. This should disclose the disposition of the company’s assets including retirement accounts, or funds. You may have to search records in the state of Washington as well. Good luck!
