                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         September 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

NOTE A: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (WRIT) operates in a manner intended to
enable it to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code").  In accordance with the code, a trust which
distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year
and which meets certain other conditions, will not be taxed on that portion of
its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders.  Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of
generally one year or less, and commercial properties are leased under
operating leases with terms of generally three to five years.  WRIT recognizes
rental income from its residential and commercial leases when earned, which is
not materially different than revenue recognition on a straight line basis.

Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
not exceeding 50 years.  Effective January 1, 1995, WRIT revised its estimate
of depreciable lives for major capital improvements to real estate.  All
capital improvement expenditures associated with replacements, improvements, or
major repairs to real property are depreciated using the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years.  All tenant
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years or the
term of the lease if it differs significantly from 5 years.  Capital
improvements placed in service prior to January 1, 1995 will continue to be
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their previously estimated useful
lives not exceeding 30 years.  Maintenance and repair costs are charged to
expense as incurred.

Cash equivalents, marketable investment securities, mortgage note receivable,
rents and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts
payable and other liabilities, tenant security deposits, advance rents,
mortgage note payable and lines of credit payable are carried at historical
cost which reasonably approximate their fair values.  Cash equivalents consist
of investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash generally with
original maturities of 90 days or less.

Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent
information available to WRIT as of September 30, 1995.  Although WRIT is not
aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value
amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of
these financial statements since that date, and current estimates of fair value
may differ significantly from the carrying amounts.


NOTE B: MARKETABLE INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Marketable investment securities are considered available for sale and at
September 30, 1995, the carrying value approximates market.  Marketable
investment securities consist of the following:


     Federally insured certificates of deposit               $ 56,000
                                                             ========

At September 30, 1995, one hundred percent (100%) of the portfolio matures in
less than one year.

On January 26, 1995 WRIT acquired an office building, 6110 Executive
Boulevard, with approximately 198,000 rentable square feet of office space plus
a three-story parking deck in Rockville, Maryland, for a contract purchase
price of $16,380,000.  On May 17, 1995 WRIT acquired a three-building
industrial distribution center, Tech 100 Industrial Park, with approximately
167,000 rentable square feet of distribution space in Howard County, Maryland,
for a contract purchase price of $6,750,000.  On August 22, 1995 WRIT acquired
Frederick County Square, a shopping center, with approximately 233,000 rentable
square feet of retail space located on U.S.  Route 40 in Frederick, Maryland
for a contract purchase price of $13,350,000.

NOTE D:  MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
On August 22, 1995 WRIT assumed a $7,752,000 mortagage note payable as partial
consideration for its acquisition of Frederick County Square.  The mortgage
bears interest at 9%, principal and interest are payable monthly until January
1, 2003 at which time all unpaid principal and interest are payable in full.  
Annual maturities of debt as of September 30, 1995 are $114,000, $125,000,
$137,000, $149,000, $163,000 and $7,046,000 thereafter.

NOTE E:  LINES OF CREDIT PAYABLE
On January 26 , 1995 WRIT borrowed $16,000,000 on a short-term bank
loan from a bank at the bank's then prime-rate of 8.5%.  Interest only was
payable monthly on the unpaid principal balance at the bank's corporate base
rate.  On March 8, 1995, the $16,000,000 short-term loan was replaced with an
unsecured credit commitment of $25,000,000 and the outstanding advance of
$16,000,000 was transferred to this new commitment.  This $16,000,000 advance
bore interest at the rate of 6.8% until September 8, 1995, at which time it was
paid in full (See Capital Resources and Liquidity).  On May 15, 1995 WRIT
borrowed $7,000,000 under this commitment for the acquisition of Tech 100
Industrial Park, and on June 28, 1995 WRIT borrowed $2,000,000 for capital
improvements and major renovations. The $7,000,000 advance bears interest at
the rate of 6.425% until November 15, 1995 at which time the interest rate will
adjust as described below and the $2,000,000 advance bore interest at the rate
of 6.42% until July 31, 1995 at which time it was paid in full (See Capital
Resources and Liquidity).  Interest only is payable monthly, in arrears, on the
unpaid principal balance.  All new advances and interest rate adjustments upon
the expiration of WRIT's interest lock-in dates will bear interest at LIBOR
plus a spread based on WRIT's debt service coverage ratio.  Based on WRIT's
current debt service coverage ratio, this spread is 30 basis points over LIBOR.
All unpaid interest and principal can be prepaid prior to the expiration of 
WRIT's interest rate lock-in periods subject to a yield maintenance obligation
and all unpaid principal and interest are due January 31, 1999.

NOTE E:  LINES OF CREDIT PAYABLE - (continued)
This $25,000,000 credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.15% per annum in the first year, and 0.20% per
annum thereafter, on the amount that the $25,000,000 commitment exceeds the
balance of outstanding advances and term loans.  This fee is payable monthly
beginning March, 1995 until January, 1999.  This commitment also contains
certain financial and legal covenants which WRIT is required to meet
periodically.

On July 27, 1995 WRIT renegotiated its other $25,000,000 unsecured
credit commitment that was scheduled to expire on August 25, 1995 and replaced
it with an unsecured credit commitment of $50,000,000 from the same bank and a
participating bank for the express purpose of purchasing income-producing
property and to make capital improvements to real property.  Interest only is
payable monthly, in arrears, on the unpaid principal balance.  All unpaid
interest and principal are due July 26, 1996, and can be prepaid prior to this
date without any prepayment fee or yield maintenance obligation.  WRIT has the
option to extend this agreement until July 25, 1997.  Any new advances shall
bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on WRIT's interest coverage ratio. 
Based on WRIT's current interest coverage ratio, this spread is 50 basis points
over LIBOR.  This credit agreement provides the option to WRIT to convert any 
advances or portions thereof into a term loan at any time after January 27, 
1996 and prior to July 26, 1996 or July 25, 1997, if extended.  The principal 
amount of each term loan, if any, shall be repaid on July 27, 1999. Such term 
loan(s) may be prepaid subject to a prepayment fee.

The $50,000,000 credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.15% per annum on the amount by which
$50,000,000 exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term loans.  This
fee is payable quarterly in arrears beginning October 1995 until July 26, 1996,
or July 25, 1997 if extended.  This commitment also contains certain covenants
which WRIT is required to meet periodically.

As of September 30, 1995 there was one advance outstanding on the above credit
facilities in the amount of $7,000,000.

NOTE F:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 2, 1995 WRIT acquired an office building, 1220 Nineteenth Street,
NW, consisting of approximately 104,033 rentable square feet and two
and-a-half levels underground parking in Washington, DC for a contract purchase
price of $18,913,000.

On November 2, 1995 WRIT also borrowed $18,000,000 under the $25,000,000 credit
commitment to acquire 1220 Nineteenth Street.  This advance bears interest at
the rate of 6.1125% until July 29, 1996 at which time the interest rate will
adjust to LIBOR plus a spread based on WRIT's debt service coverage ratio. 
Based on WRIT's current debt service coverage ratio, this spread is 30 basis
points over LIBOR.

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
WRIT's fundamental emphasis is on the growth of cash flow from operating
activities.  Dividends to shareholders are based upon these cash flows.  WRIT's
capital improvements, leasing and management, and acquisitions of additional
properties are the major contributors to sustained growth of cash flows.

Occupancy rates have a major impact on rental revenue.  Other factors such as
new or renewal leases at market rates, CPI based annual rental rate increases,
increases in rentable area, new property acquisitions and certain other capital
expenditures also influence rental revenue.

Income from real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of
$22,883,844 increased 11% compared with $20,532,715 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  For the third quarter 1995, income from real estate of
$7,751,706 increased 13% compared with $6,888,465 for the third quarter 1994.
These increases are primarily attributable to the 6110 Executive Boulevard
office building acquired January 26, 1995, the Tech 100 Industrial Park
acquired May 17, 1995 and the Frederick County Square shopping center acquired
August 22, 1995.  Comparing income from real estate for those properties owned
by WRIT for the entire third quarter of 1994 to their same income in the third
quarter of 1995, resulted in an increase of 2%. This increase was primarily
the result of rental rate and/or occupancy increases in the apartment, shopping
center, and industrial distribution center sectors.  These increases were
partially offset by vacancies at one of WRIT's office buildings, 1901
Pennsylvania Avenue which has been undergoing a major capital improvement
program.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $19,193,260 or $.66
per share, increased 10% compared with $17,479,692 or $.62 per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994.  For the three months ended September 30,
1995, net income of $6,835,409 or $.22 per share increased 17% from $5,846,949
or $.21 per share from the comparable quarter of 1994.  Comparing net income
for those properties owned by WRIT for the entire third quarter of 1994 to
their net income for the third quarter of 1995, after adjusting for interest
income from underwriting proceeds and interest expense, resulted in a 4%
increase.  The reasons for this includes those mentioned above regarding the 2%
increase in income from real estate for the same period, as well as reduced
general & administrative expenses.

The average occupancy of 93% for the third quarter 1995 declined from 94% for
the third quarter 1994 due primarily to vacancies at one of WRIT's office
buildings, 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue.  The average occupancy of 95% for the
first nine months of 1994 decreased to 93% for the first nine months of 1995
due to vacancies at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue and one shopping center, Chevy
Chase Metro Plaza.  In 1994, WRIT commenced a major capital improvement
program at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue in order to allow for the expeditious
lease-up of this property.  Also in 1994, WRIT commenced renovation and a
10,000 square foot expansion at Chevy Chase Metro Plaza which was substantially
complete as of March 1995.  On March 23, 1995 T.J. Maxx, a national retailer,
took possession of 31,500 square feet of space at Chevy Chase Metro Plaza for a
ten year term.  This increased the occupancy level from 39% as of March 22,
1995 to 90% on the date of lease inception.

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)
Real estate operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was 33% for the third
quarter 1995 compared to 33% for the third quarter of 1994.  For the first nine
months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994, this ratio was 32% and
31%, respectively.  This increase is attributable to the decline in occupancy
levels in the nine months of 1995 as compared to the first nine months of 1994
and to the fact that operating expenses as a percentage of revenues are higher
for office building properties than all other property types within the WRIT
portfolio.  WRIT's percentage of office buildings within its entire real estate
portfolio has increased from 39% at September 30, 1994 to 41% as of September
30, 1995 based on revenues.  This increase is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of Tycon II and III office buildings in June, 1994 and 6110
Executive Boulevard office building in January, 1995.

In the first quarter of 1994, a marketable investment security was written down
to its estimated realizable value, resulting in a charge of $799,571 to
operations.  This amount is included in the $382,157 of other expense per the
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

Investment income increased for the three months ended September 30, 1995
compared to the same period of 1994 due to investment earnings on the net
proceeds of $48,616,800 received from the sale of 3,500,00 shares of
beneficial interest.

Interest expense was $1,675,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared with $319,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  For the
third quarter 1995, interest expense was $501,969 compared with $277,809 for
the third quarter of 1994.  These increases are the result of the $7,000,000 of
outstanding advances since May 17, 1995 for the acquisition of Tech 100
Industrial Park, the $16,000,000 of outstanding advances since January 26, 1995
for the acquisition of the 6110 Executive Boulevard office building which was
paid in full on September 8, 1995, and the $2,000,000 of outstanding advances
since June 28, 1995 for capital improvements and major renovations which were
paid in full on July 31, 1995.

General and administrative expenses increased $240,893 or 10% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994. 
For the three months ended September 30, 1995, general and administrative
expenses decreased $75,542 or 9% as compared to the same period in 1994.  The
for the nine months ending September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period
1994 is the result of personnel additions since June of 1994. The decrease for
the third quarter 1995 as compared to the same period 1994 is primarily due to
the completion of severance pay in June 1995 to WRIT's former Chief Executive
Officer, B. Franklin Kahn who retired in February 1995.  


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
WRIT has utilized equity share offerings, long-term fixed interest rate debt,
lines of credit and cash flow from operations for its capital needs.  The WRIT
philosophy has been to acquire real estate with strong growth potential and to
improve its real estate holdings through carefully planned additions and
improvements to generate higher rental income, and to reduce operating
expenses.





                                       11

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (continued)
On July 18, 1995 WRIT offered for sale 3,500,000 shares of beneficial interest
to the public.  On July 25, 1995 WRIT received $48,842,500 from the issuance
and sale of the 3,500,000 shares.  WRIT's underwriting expenses were $225,700
and thus the net proceeds received by the trust from the issuance and sale of
the shares offered were $48,616,800.  Approximately $36,000,000 of the net
proceeds was used to repay certain borrowings outstanding under the Trust's
lines of credit.  Those borrowings were used to acquire the Tycon Plaza,
Foxchase and the 6110 Executive Boulevard properties, and to fund capital
improvements and major renovations.  An additional $5,600,000 of the net
proceeds was used to acquire Frederick County Square and $600,000 was used to
acquire 1220 Nineteenth Street (See Note F).  The balance of the net proceeds
may be used to acquire and/or renovate, expand or improve income producing
properties or to repay other indebtedness drawn under the lines of credit.  It
is expected that the properties purchased in the future will be of the same
general character as those presently held by the Trust.

On January 26, 1995 WRIT acquired an office building, 6110 Executive Boulevard,
with approximately 198,000 rentable square feet of office space plus a
three-story parking deck in Rockville, Maryland, for a contract purchase price
of $16,380,000.  On May 17, 1995 WRIT acquired a three-building industrial
distribution center, Tech 100 Industrial Park, with approximately 167,000
rentable square feet of distribution space in Howard County, Maryland, for a
contract purchase price of $6,750,000.  On August 22, 1995 WRIT acquired
Frederick County Square, a shopping center, with approximately 233,000 rentable
square feet of retail space located on U.S. Route 40 in Frederick, Maryland
for a contract purchase price of $13,350,000.  On November 2, 1995 WRIT
acquired an office building, 1220 Nineteenth Street, NW, consisting of 
approximately 104,033 rentable square feet and two and-a-half levels 
underground parking in Washington, DC for a contract purchase price of 
$18,913,000 (See Note F).  Capital improvements of $6,788,266 were completed 
in the first nine months of 1995, including tenant improvements.

After the acquisition of 6110 Executive Boulevard in January, 1995, the
acquisition of Tech 100 Industrial Park in May, 1995, the acquisition of
Frederick County Square in August, 1995 and capital improvements in the first
nine months of 1995, the remainder of cash and marketable investment
securities was approximately $4,446,914 at September 30, 1995.

External sources of capital are available to WRIT from its existing unsecured
credit commitments and management believes that additional sources of capital
are available from selling additional shares and/or the issuance of debt.

Cash flow from operating activities was more than adequate to meet
dividend requirements through the second quarter of 1995.  Cash flow from
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is less than
dividends paid for the same period.  This temporary shortfall is due to the
dilutive effect on cash flow after the payment of WRIT'S third quarter
dividend.  On September 29, 1995 WRIT paid its third quarter dividend to
shareholders of record on September 15, 1995.  On September 29, 1995 dividends
paid included payment on the 3,500,000 of shares sold in the July, 1995
underwriting.  However, third quarter cashflow from operations does not
represent a full three months of increased cashflow from the use of the
underwriting proceeds.  The proceeds were not received until July 25, 1995.

Management believes that it has the liquidity and the capital resources
necessary to meet all of its known obligations and to make additional property
acquisitions when appropriate.  WRIT continues to pursue acquisition
opportunities and capital improvement projects to enhance long-term growth.
