WASHINGTON MOTOR COACH SYSTEM�CROSSTATE ROUTE / NORTHWEST GREYHOUND LINES, INC.�The Washington Motor Coach System was a bus line formed in 1925 by combining the certificates of a number of smaller companies. In January 1938 WMCS significantly expanded when it merged with the�Yakima Motor Coach Company, Inc., the�Olympic Motor Coach Company, Inc., and the�Spokane-Butte Motor Coach Company, Inc., faithfully serving Washington, Idaho and Montana. On Tuesday, February 25, 1947,�The Greyhound Corporation�announced it had acquired control of the Washington Motor Coach System, which was then operating in four Pacific northwest states. Greyhound president Orville S. Caesar announced that 96 per cent of WMCS� outstanding stock was purchased.
