         Washington Mutual Announces Increase In First-Quarter Earnings;
                 Board of Directors Increases Cash Dividend and
                      Authorizes Share Repurchase Program

     SEATTLE --  Washington  Mutual,  Inc.  (NYSE:  WM)  announced  today record
first-quarter  earnings of $444.1 million,  up from $370.8 million one year ago.
Diluted  earnings per share were 76 cents, up 19 percent from 64 cents per share
in the first quarter of 1998.

     Earnings  from  operations,  excluding  transaction-related  charges,  were
$459.1  million or 79 cents per diluted  share in the first  quarter of 1999, up
from $389.8 million or 68 cents per diluted share for the same period last year.

     As a result of Washington Mutual's first-quarter  performance and continued
strong  capital  position,  the  company's  board of  directors  declared a cash
dividend  on the  common  stock of 24 cents  per  share,  an  increase  from the
previous quarter's cash dividend of 23 cents per share.  Dividends on the common
stock are payable May 14, 1999, to shareholders of record as of April 30, 1999.

     The board of directors also voted to authorize the company to acquire, from
time to time, up to 20 million shares of Washington Mutual's  outstanding common
stock. (See related press release that follows.)

     "Washington   Mutual's   first-quarter   results  reflect  our  ability  to
profitably  grow the company by adding new  customers  and  creating  additional
account  relationships  with existing  households,"  said Kerry  Killinger,  the
company's chairman, president and chief executive officer.

     The  quarter's  financial  highlights,  on an operating  basis,  included a
return on average common equity of 19.35 percent,  an improved  efficiency ratio
of 46.01 percent,  and 16 percent  increase in first quarter earnings per share,
year over year. "Despite our continued growth and profitability,  the relatively
flat  yield  curve  has  made  it   challenging  to  fully  deploy  our  capital
profitably," Killinger said. "Consequently,  we believe a share repurchase is an
appropriate  use of our  capital  at the  present  time and should  benefit  our
shareholders."

FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

     On Feb. 13, 1998,  H.F.  Ahmanson & Co.  completed its acquisition of Coast
Savings,  in a transaction  accounted for as a purchase.  Accordingly,  all 1998
figures for the company in this release  include only a partial  quarter's worth
of Coast's operating results.

Net Interest And Other Income

     A larger base of interest-earning assets helped produce net interest income
of $1.13  billion for the first quarter of 1999, up 6 percent from $1.06 billion
a year earlier.  Killinger said that while Washington  Mutual's loan origination
capability remains strong, the interest rate environment has inhibited growth in
the company's loan portfolio.  As a result,  the company  continued to implement
its  interim  strategy of  purchasing  mortgage-backed  securities  in the first
quarter.

     The spread during the quarter was 2.60 percent,  compared with 2.74 percent
for the same  period last year.  The margin was 2.79  percent in the most recent
quarter versus 2.91 percent for first quarter 1998.

     Total other income  increased to $352.1 million,  up from $264.4 million in
last year's first  quarter.  An increase in checking  accounts,  year over year,
increased  depositor and other retail banking fees to $163.4 million in the most
recent  quarter,  up from $119.5 million a year earlier.  The company added more
than 93,000 net new checking accounts during the first quarter of 1999.

     Washington  Mutual continues to make progress in re-mixing its deposit base
by replacing time deposits with lower-cost  transaction  accounts.  At March 31,
1999, transaction account balances, including checking, savings and money market
deposits,  represented 50 percent of total deposits, compared with 49 percent at
the end of 1998, and 41 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1998.

Loan Originations

     The  company's  growing  franchise,   relatively  low  interest  rates  and
generally  healthy regional  economies led to total loan  originations of $11.86
billion for the quarter, up 9 percent from $10.84 billion a year ago.

     Single-family   residential  loan   originations   (excluding   residential
construction)  were $9.67  billion,  up from $8.62  billion one year ago. Of the
first quarter SFR originations,  54 percent were adjustable-rate  mortgages,  an
improvement  from 39 percent  for the same  period in 1998 and 41 percent in the
fourth quarter last year.

     Originations of loans other than  single-family  residential  loans,  which
included consumer,  commercial and residential construction loans, totaled $2.19
billion for the most recent quarter, comparable with the first quarter of 1998.

Efficiency Ratio

     Growth in revenues and the company's  continued  integration  of its recent
mergers improved Washington  Mutual's overall  efficiency,  Killinger noted. The
company's efficiency ratio (defined as other expenses, excluding amortization of
intangible  assets  arising from  acquisitions,  as a percentage of net interest
income and other income)  improved to 47.62 percent,  as compared with 49.16 for
the  first  quarter  of 1998.  Excluding  transaction-related  charges  for both
periods, the operating efficiency ratio was 46.01 percent versus 46.76 percent a
year ago. Higher revenues more than offset the additional  expenses  required to
support Washington Mutual's growth during the past year.

     "As a growth  company,  Washington  Mutual is  committed to being among the
industry  leaders in  operating  efficiency,"  Killinger  said.  "We  anticipate
additional improvement in our efficiency ratio as 1999 progresses,  particularly
during the second half of the year after the  operations  of Ahmanson  are fully
combined with ours."

Credit Quality

     Credit quality  remained  strong during the quarter.  "Consistent  with our
goal of maintaining solid credit quality,  we continue to apply our underwriting
standards with the long-term goal of keeping the ratio of  nonperforming  assets
to total assets below 1 percent," Killinger said.

     Total  nonperforming  assets were $1.18 billion at March 31, 1999, compared
with $1.21 billion at Dec. 31, 1998.  Nonperforming  assets were 0.68 percent of
total assets, compared with 0.73 percent at Dec. 31, 1998.

     In the quarter, the company made a $41.7 million provision for loan losses,
versus $50.0 million for the same period in the previous  year.  Net loan charge
offs  were  $45.0  million,  compared  with  $51.7  million a year  earlier.  In
addition, the company took $5.1 million as a provision for recourse liability in
the first  quarter of this year,  as  compared  with $15.2  million for the same
period one year ago. At March 31, 1999,  loan loss  reserves and the reserve for
recourse  liability  totaled  $1.20  billion,  and  represented  134  percent of
nonaccrual loans.

Assets, Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios

     Consolidated  assets at March  31,  1999,  were  $174.30  billion,  up from
$165.49  billion at Dec. 31, 1998.  Total deposits  declined,  primarily in time
deposits,   to  $84.20  billion,  from  $85.49  billion  at  the  end  of  1998.
Stockholders'  equity at March 31, 1999, was $9.61  billion,  or 5.51 percent of
assets,  and capital ratios of the company's banking  subsidiaries  continued to
exceed the FDIC's  requirements for  classification as  "well-capitalized,"  the
highest regulatory standard.

Commercial Banking, Consumer Finance and Financial Services

     For  the  quarter,  at  Western  Bank,  the  company's  commercial  banking
division,  average  loan  balances  increased  28  percent to $1.7  billion,  as
compared  with $1.3  billion for the same period one year ago.  Average  deposit
balances grew by 22 percent to $ 1.3 billion,  versus $1.0 billion for the first
quarter of 1998.

     Aristar, Inc., the holding company for Washington Mutual's consumer finance
group, reported first quarter net income of $14.9 million,  versus $12.7 million
for the same period one year ago. Net loans outstanding were $2.5 billion at the
end of the first quarter of 1999, up from $2.2 billion at Mar. 31, 1998.

     The company's  financial  services  subsidiaries  increased  securities and
insurance  fees and  commissions  to $70.2  million  for the first  quarter,  as
compared with $59.6 million for the same period one year ago.

Company Updates

     In March, Washington Mutual entered into a strategic alliance with Internet
mortgage aggregator,  Keystroke  Financial,  Inc. of Seattle. The agreement will
enable the company to use  Keystroke's  online  mortgage  lending  technology on
Washington   Mutual's  web  site.  It  is  anticipated   that  online   mortgage
applications  will be available at www.wamu.com by the end of the third quarter.
In addition, Washington Mutual will be among the featured lenders on Keystroke's
web site.

     During the weekend of February 20, Washington Mutual successfully completed
the deposit  conversion at 48 Texas branches.  Those locations  officially began
operating  under the  Washington  Mutual  name on  Monday,  Feb.  22.  The Texas
conversion  was the first of a  three-phased  initiative  to convert  all former
Ahmanson  branches to the Washington  Mutual  system.  Locations in Northern and
Central  California  will  convert  later this month,  followed by the  Southern
California conversion in May.

     As part of the  systems  conversions,  the  company  will  consolidate  162
branches in California.  In addition,  Ahmanson's operational and administrative
centers in Irwindale and the City of Industry,  Calif.,  and St. Louis, Mo. will
be consolidated into Washington Mutual by the end of the third quarter.

     As of Jan.  1, the  company  had  completed  its Year 2000  testing  of all
internal  "mission-critical"  systems and all  testing  criteria  were met.  The
company's Y2K initiative  remains on schedule to continue  end-to-end testing of
the "mission-critical" internal systems through the first half of this year.

expanding  all  areas  of our  business  and to doing  so with  ever  increasing
efficiency."
