ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On October 17, 1997 WRIT Limited Partnership, a 99% owned subsidiary of
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust ("WRIT"), purchased 1600 Wilson
Boulevard office building ("1600 Wilson Boulevard" or the "Property") containing
165,286 rentable square feet located in Rosslyn, Virginia from the Boeing
Pension Fund, for a contract purchase price of $23,300,000. The contract
purchase price was paid from a portion of the proceeds of WRIT's public sale of
3,750,000 shares of beneficial interest on August 1, 1997. On the date of
acquisition, the Property was 97.4% leased. Major tenants of the Property
include Red Hot & Blue, Partnership for Child Health Care, GSA - Department of
Defense, Volunteers in Technical Assistance, Pasha Publications, Inc. and
Airlines Reporting Corporation.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired
The acquisition on October 17, 1997 of 1600 Wilson Boulevard when
aggregated with a previously reported acquisition completed on
February 28, 1997, constitutes the acquisition of a "significant
amount of assets" as defined in Regulation S-X. The following
financial statements for a substantial majority of the assets acquired
are filed as an exhibit hereto:
1. 1600 Wilson Boulevard - Audited Historical Summary of Gross
Income and Direct Operating Expenses for the year ended December
31, 1996.
In acquiring 1600 Wilson Boulevard, WRIT evaluated among other things,
sources of revenue (including but not limited to, competition in the
rental market, comparative rents and occupancy rates) and expenses
(including but not limited to, utility rates, ad valorem tax rates,
maintenance expenses and anticipated capital expenditures). WRIT,
after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material factors
relating to 1600 Wilson Boulevard that would cause the reported
information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating
results.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The following pro forma financial statements for a substantial
majority of the assets acquired are filed as an exhibit hereto:
1. WRIT Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as
of June 30, 1997 and the Condensed and Consolidated Statement of

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Trustees of
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust
We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses of 1600 Wilson Boulevard ("Historical Summary") for the year
ended December 31, 1996. This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the
Building's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Historical Summary based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Building's revenue and expenses.
In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in
Note 2 of 1600 Wilson Boulevard for the year ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
