FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.
("Borrower") promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("Bank") at its office at 1300 SW 5TH Avenue, Tower, 14th Floor,
Portland, Oregon 97201, or at such other place as the holder hereof may
designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000.00),
or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon,
to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth
herein.

INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a
rate per annum one percent (1%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to
time. The "Prime Rate" is a base rate that Bank from time to time establishes
and which serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are
calculated for those loans making reference thereto. Each change in the rate of
interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is
announced within Bank.

(b) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable
on the first day of each month, commencing October 1, 2002.

(c) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or
such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above
the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the
term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings,
and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this
Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall
not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal
balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced
hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon
by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time
by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable in full on April 30, 2003.

(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal
sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of
(i) William W. Sherertz or Michael D. Mulholland, any one acting alone, who are
authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until
written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at
the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances
deposited to the credit of any deposit account of any Borrower, which advances,

when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for
the benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than
those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such
account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person
requesting an advance is or has been authorized by any Borrower.

(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be
credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding
principal balance hereof.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions
of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank
dated as of September 2, 2002, as amended from time to time (the "Credit
Agreement"). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under
this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note.

MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the sale, transfer, hypothecation, assignment or
other encumbrance, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of all
or any interest in any real property securing this Note, or upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder's option, may
declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of
nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which
are expressly waived by each Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder
to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate.
Each Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of
all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the
holder's in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection
with the enforcement of the holder's rights and/or the collection of any amounts
which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense
of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any
action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level,
in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing
incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without
limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank
or any other person) relating to any Borrower or any other person or entity.

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity
sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be
joint and several.

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.

UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY BANK AFTER
OCTOBER 3, 1989 CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR
PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER'S
RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY BANK TO BE
ENFORCEABLE.
