Pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 of Regulation C under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in lieu of filing under paragraph (c) of Rule 497, I hereby
certify on behalf of SAFECO Resource Series Trust (the "Registrant") that the
form of the Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2000 for the
Registrant's series portfolios, Growth Opportunities, Equity, Northwest, Small
Company Value, Bond, and Money Market, that would have been filed under
