INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Participants and the Plan Administrator
Whidbey Island Bank 401(K) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Whidbey Island Bank 401(K) Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the related statement of change in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes at December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions for the
year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The Plan has not reported certain historical cost information in the schedule of
reportable transactions. Disclosure of this information is required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

WHIDBEY ISLAND BANK 401(K) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
(1) PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Whidbey Island Bank 401(K) Plan (Plan)
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
(a) GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established for employees of
Whidbey Island Bank (Sponsor) and the Bank's subsidiary, WIB
Financial Services, Inc., who are at least 21 years of age and have
completed 1 year of service.
The Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
(b) ADMINISTRATION
The Sponsor is the Plan administrator and has appointed certain
designated directors of the Company to serve as trustees of the
Plan's assets. The assets of the Plan are held by Safeco Mutual Funds
(Safeco) at December 31, 1998, and were held by Fidelity Investments
(Fidelity) at December 31, 1997. The assets were transferred from
Fidelity to Safeco in May, 1998.
(c) ELIGIBILITY, CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS
All employees of the Sponsor who are age 21 or older and have
completed a 12-month period in which employees work 1,000 hours of
service or more are eligible to contribute to the Plan and are
eligible for the employer matching contribution. All eligible
employees are participants in the Plan whether or not actual
contributions are made.
Accounts are established for each participant and include the
participant's contributions (including those rolled over from another
qualified plan or trust), employer matching contributions, any
discretionary contributions from the Sponsor and earnings thereon.
Discretionary contributions totaled $0 and $16,934 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation,
limited by the Internal Revenue Code to $10,000 in 1998. The
Sponsor's matching contribution is 50 cents for each dollar
contributed on the first 5% of the participant's eligible
compensation.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
(d) VESTING
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, Sponsor
matching contributions and earnings thereon. Vesting of the Sponsor's
discretionary contribution and actual earnings thereon is based on
years of credited service of participants. The following schedule
sets forth the vesting schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S> <C>
Less than 1 $ 0%
1 0
2 20
3 40
4 60
5 80
6 100
</TABLE>
Participants become fully vested at the age of 65, upon the
participant's death or upon permanent disability.
Forfeitures of nonvested sponsor contributions are allocated to
remaining participants and treated as Sponsor non-elective
contributions for the Plan year. Forfeited nonvested balances during
1998 and 1997 amounted to approximately $500 and $1,300,
respectively.
(e) INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Effective May, 1998, participants have the option of directing their
contributions in 1% increments into any one or more of the Plan's
investment fund options: Washington Banking Company Common Stock,
Safeco International Stock Fund, Janus Worldwide Fund, Safeco Small
Company Fund, Safeco Growth Fund, Safeco Northwest Fund, Neuberger &
Berman Equity Fund, Janus Fund, Safeco Equity Fund, Scudder Growth &
Income Fund, Safeco Income Fund, American Century Group Value Equity
Income Fund, Safeco High Yield Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Bond Fund,
and Safeco Money Market Fund. Prior to May 1998, participants had the
following investment options: Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth Fund,
Fidelity Advisor Balanced Fund, and Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Bond Fund. Prior to May 1998, Sponsor contributions were invested in
Whidbey Island Bank Money Market Fund.
Participants may change their investment options at anytime. The
Sponsor contribution is made in cash and allocated to a participant's
account balance in accordance with the participant's contributions
elections.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
(f) PARTICIPANT LOANS
In 1997, participants had the option to borrow from the vested
portion of their account balance a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum
equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
balance. One participant had a loan balance at December 31, 1997 of
$2,613. Effective May 1998, the Plan was amended and participants are
not allowed to borrow from their account. There were no loans
outstanding as of December 31, 1998.
(g) PAYMENT OF PLAN BENEFITS
Participants may elect to have payments of vested benefits paid
either in a lump sum or on an installment basis after their
retirement or termination date. With approval of the Sponsor, early
withdrawals may be paid by the Plan to those employees experiencing a
financial hardship, as defined by the Plan. Distributions are paid in
a single lump sum or, if the account balance exceeds $5,000 and at
the participant's election, by payment in monthly, quarterly or
annual installments over a fixed, reasonable period of time not to
exceed the combined life expectancy of the participant and
beneficiary.
(h) PLAN EXPENSES
Expenses of the Plan are paid by the Sponsor and, therefore, are not
included in the accompanying financial statements of the Plan.
(i) PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Sponsor has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Should the
Plan be terminated at some future date, all participants would become
fully vested in their account balances.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING
The Plan financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting.
(b) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.
Participant notes receivable are stated at cost which approximates
fair value based upon prevailing interest rates.
Net appreciation or depreciation of investments includes both
realized and unrealized gains and losses. Purchases and sales of
securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
(c) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
(d) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
(3) TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Sponsor by a
letter dated October 26, 1994, that the Plan and related trust are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed
and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the IRC.
(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan assets are managed by Safeco and Fidelity, through May, 1998,
and therefore these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
transactions.

(6) YEAR 2000
The Plan administrator has conducted a comprehensive review of its
internal systems and applications to mitigate the risks associated with
Year 2000 compliance issues and has developed a Year 2000 remediation
plan. Program conversions of systems and applications are underway and
expected to be completed by December 31, 1999. The Plan administrator has
inquired of the Plan's third-party service providers relating to their
Year 2000 compliance. While these entities indicate they are or will be
compliant, the Plan administrator has limited ability to evaluate their
responses or to evaluate what impact, if any, such entities' potential
noncompliance may have on the Plan's operations. Costs associated with the
Plan administrator's Year 2000 remediation efforts are paid by the
Sponsor.
