  On March 27, 1998, Pacific Northwest Transportation Services, Inc., C-862, 
filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission revisions to 
its current tariff naming rates to become effective May 1, 1998.

  The revisions consisted of:  General rate increase.

  At the Commission's open public meeting of April 29, 1998, the Commission 
suspended the filing for investigation and hearing to ensure the rights and 
interests of the public would not be injuriously affected.

  The Commission staff has now completed its investigation and determined that 
the rates and charges as filed are fair, just and reasonable.  

  At the open public meeting of July 22, 1998, staff recommended that the rates 
should be allowed to become effective as filed.

  Pursuant to review of the filing, testimony and staff recommendations, the 
Commission finds that the Complaint and Order suspending Docket TC-980488 
should be dismissed and the rates be allowed to become effective.
