     This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D amends the
Schedule 13D initially filed on March 28, 1995
(collectively, with all amendments thereto, the "Schedule
13D").

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
restated in its entirety  as follows:

     The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares  
is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Shares by 
each of the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts 
were made in the ordinary course of business and 
were not made for the purpose of acquiring control 
of the Company.

     Although no Reporting Person has any specific 
plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of Shares, consistent
 with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person 
at any time and from time to time may acquire additional 
Shares or dispose of any or all of its Shares depending 
upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the 
Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment 
opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting 
Person and/or other investment considerations. No
 Reporting Person has made a determination regarding 
a maximum or minimum number of Shares which it 
may hold at any point in time.

     Also, in order to maximize and protect the 
value of their investment in the Company, the 
Reporting Persons have and may engage in communications
with one or more shareholders of the Company, 
one or more officers of the Company, one or more members 
of the board of directors of the Company and/or
potential investors in the Company regarding the 
Company, including but not limited to its
operations. <1>

     Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed 
a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has 
any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result 
in, any of the matters referred to

<1> In response to inquiries received by
the Reporting Persons regarding the 
disclosure in this paragraph, the Reporting
Persons sent to the Company the letter
attached as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D.

PAGE
<PAGE>
in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of 
the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons may, at any 
time and from time to time, review or reconsider their 
position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate 
plans or proposals with respect thereto.

VIA FACSIMILE
First Washington Realty Trust, Inc.
4350 East West Highway Suite 400
Bethesda, MD 20814
Attn: William Wolfe
       

   Re: First Washington Realty
   Trust, Inc.    Schedule 13D Filings


Dear Sirs:

      On December 2, 1997, Farallon 
Capital Management, L.L.C. ("FCMLLC")
filed with the SEC Amendment No. 7 
to its Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 
13D")with respect to the common stock
of First Washington Realty Trust, Inc.
("First Washington").  The filing was
made on behalf of FCMLLC and the 
other entities and persons noted
therein (the "Reporting Persons"). 

      FCMLLC has received several
 inquiries today with respect to the
following disclosure language 
contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D:

     Also, in order to maximize
     and protect the value of their
     investment in the Company, the
     Reporting Persons may engage in 
     communications with one or more
     shareholders of the Company, one
     or more officers of the Company,
     one or more members of the board 
     of directors of the Company and/or
     potential investors in the Company 
     regarding the Company, including but
     not limited to its operations.

There appears to be concern that such language 
indicates that the Reporting Persons have an
intent other than the investment intent
disclosed in the Schedule 13D.
PAGE
<PAGE>


     FCMLLC, on behalf of the Reporting Persons,
confirms to the Company that the Reporting 
Persons' intent in holding First Washington's 
common stock remains solely an investment 
intent.  The disclosure language in Item 4
simply notes that the Reporting Persons 
reserve the rights available to any
investor in the Company to discuss matters
concerning the Company with a number of
persons as part of an investor's on-going 
process of monitoring and evaluating its
investment.  Such disclosure is similar
to disclosure contained in Section 13D
filings made by the Reporting Persons
with respect to equity securities of other issuers.

                         Sincerely,

                         /s/ Jason Fish
                         Jason Fish
