<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON, July 3, 2007 - Barrett Business Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:  BBSI) today announced that it has successfully completed its acquisition of Strategic Staffing, Inc. based in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The transaction was previously announced on May 10, 2007, subject to completion of due diligence.  Consideration for the transaction included $12&nbsp;million in cash and potential additional consideration that is contingent on the financial performance of the Strategic Staffing offices during the 12-month period beginning July 2, 2007.  The contingent consideration, if any, will be calculated as a multiple of pre-tax earnings above a pre-determined target.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.54in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Strategic Staffing, a privately held staffing company, operates five offices in Utah and one office in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  For 2006, Strategic Staffing's revenues were approximately $38 million and management expects revenues for 2007 to be approximately $48 million.  BBSI anticipates that this acquisition will increase earnings by approximately 8&nbsp;to 9 cents per diluted share for the second half of 2007.</font></p>
