                                                               September 2, 2002

        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,

                                      -1-


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.

        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.
