              WASHINGTON MUTUAL ANNOUNCES STRONG THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS;
                 HIGHER FEE INCOME, LOWER EXPENSES HIGHLIGHT QUARTER;
                      BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCREASES CASH DIVIDEND

     SEATTLE -- Washington Mutual, Inc. (NYSE: WM) announced today earnings of
$470.0 million for the third quarter of 1999.  These results compare to third-
quarter 1998 earnings of $560.5 million, which included a $171.1 million
after-tax gain on the sale of Florida branches by the former Home Savings.
Diluted earnings per share were 83 cents, as compared with 96 cents per share
(67 cents excluding the branch sale) in the third quarter of 1998.
     Earnings from operations, excluding transaction-related charges, were
$477.9 million or 84 cents per diluted share in the third quarter of 1999
versus adjusted earnings, excluding both transaction-related charges and the
Florida branch sale, of $402.2 million or 69 cents per diluted share in the
third quarter of 1998.
     Based on Washington Mutual's third-quarter performance and capital
position, the company's board of directors declared a cash dividend on the
common stock of 26 cents per share, an increase from the previous quarter's
cash dividend of 25 cents per share.  Dividends on the common stock are
payable Nov. 15, 1999, to shareholders of record as of Oct. 29, 1999.
     "Our management team is pleased with Washington Mutual's third-quarter
performance, which reflected the continuation of solid operating fundamentals
in all our business lines," said Kerry Killinger, the company's chairman,
president and chief executive officer.  "Growth in the loan portfolio was
strong as adjustable-rate mortgages gained greater popularity among consumers.
Meanwhile, Washington Mutual continued to acquire new accounts at a record
pace and posted double-digit growth in noninterest income, year-over-year.
Our company also realized a reduction in operating expenses as we began to
fully integrate the former operations of H.F. Ahmanson."

     The quarter's financial highlights included, on an operating basis, a
return on average common equity of 21.39 percent; an efficiency ratio -
excluding transaction-related charges and the amortization of goodwill -- of
44.54 percent; a 32 percent increase in depositor and other retail banking fee
income over last year's third quarter; and a 25 percent increase in securities
and insurance fees and commissions, year-over-year.
THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS
NET INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
     The company's larger loan portfolio helped produce net interest income of
$1.12 billion for the third quarter of 1999, up 5 percent from $1.06 billion a
year earlier.  However, the rise of short-term interest rates placed pressure
on the spread and the margin.  The spread during the quarter was 2.50 percent,
compared with 2.69 percent for the same period last year. The margin was 2.64
percent in the most recent quarter versus 2.88 percent for third quarter 1998.
     Higher long-term interest rates prompted increased demand for adjustable-
rate mortgage loans, which the company generally retained in its portfolio.
As a result, the loan portfolio grew by $8.40 billion during the third
quarter.  Meanwhile, mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.73 billion in
the third quarter, primarily as a result of paydowns and sales during the
period.
     For the quarter, depositor and other retail banking fees were $198.4
million, up 32 percent from $150.0 million a year earlier.  Helping drive this
increase in fee income, the company added a record 131,371 net new retail
checking accounts during the third quarter of 1999.
     Growth in noninterest income was also fueled by an increase in securities
and insurance fees and commissions, which were $81.4 million for the third
quarter of 1999, up 25 percent from $64.9 million for the same period one year
ago.
     Reflecting the slowdown in refinancing activity and demand for fixed-rate
mortgages, mortgage banking income was $14.6 million for the most recent
quarter, as compared with $34.2 million for the third quarter one year ago.

LENDING
     Although off from the record levels of the first half of 1999, total loan
originations remained strong at $12.76 billion for the quarter, up from $12.65
billion one year ago.
     Single-family residential (SFR) loan originations (excluding residential
construction) were $10.00 billion, up from $9.66 billion one year ago.  Of the
third quarter SFR originations, 86 percent were adjustable-rate mortgages, up
from 48 percent for the same period in 1998.
     Originations of loans other than SFR loans, which include consumer,
commercial and residential construction loans, totaled $2.76 billion for the
most recent quarter, as compared with $2.99 billion in the third quarter of
1998.  Commercial real estate loan originations for last year's third quarter
were unusually high.
     The company's commercial business loan portfolio increased during the
third quarter of 1999 by 22 percent to $1.31 billion, as compared with $1.08
billion for the same period one year ago.  The consumer finance loan portfolio
reported $2.89 billion at the end of the third quarter of 1999, up 19 percent
from $2.43 billion at Sept. 30, 1998.
EFFICIENCY RATIO
     Strong operating revenues, combined with effective expense management,
led to an operating efficiency ratio (defined as other expenses, excluding
amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income and
other income) of 45.39 percent for the most recent quarter.  The ratio in last
year's third quarter was 41.88 percent, which included the previously
mentioned gain on the sale of Florida branches.  Excluding transaction-related
charges for both periods and the sale of Florida branches in the third quarter
of 1998, the operating efficiency ratio was 44.54 percent for the most recent
quarter versus 49.15 percent a year ago.
CREDIT QUALITY
     The company continues to carefully monitor the major real estate markets
it serves to maintain asset quality.  Total nonperforming assets were $1.06
billion at Sept. 30, 1999, unchanged from June 30, 1999.  Nonperforming assets
were 0.58 percent of total assets, compared with 0.61 percent at June 30,
1999.

     Reflecting the third quarter's loan growth, the company's provision for
loan losses was  $40.8 million, versus $34.4 million for the same period in
the previous year.  Net loan charge offs for the third quarter were $43.0
million, compared with $38.4 million a year earlier.  At Sept. 30, 1999, loan
loss reserves totaled $1.05 billion, and represented 126 percent of nonaccrual
loans.
BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
     Consolidated assets at Sept. 30, 1999, were $180.80 billion, up from
$175.04 billion at June 30, 1999.  Stockholders' equity at Sept. 30, 1999, was
$8.91 billion and capital ratios of the company's banking subsidiaries
continued to exceed regulatory requirements for classification as "well-
capitalized," the highest regulatory standard.
     At Sept. 30, 1999, transaction account balances, including checking,
savings and money market deposits, represented 55 percent of total deposits,
up from 54 percent at the end of the second quarter of 1999 and 49 percent at
the end of 1998.  Total deposits were $81.62 billion at the end of the current
quarter, as compared with $83.13 billion at the end of the second quarter of
1999.
     Killinger noted that the company continued deploying capital during the
third quarter by purchasing nearly 8.7 million shares of its common stock at
an average price of $34.16.  Approximately 6.3 million of these shares were
purchased in conjunction with Washington Mutual's merger with Long Beach
Financial Corp.
COMPANY UPDATES
     --On October 1, Washington Mutual completed its acquisition of Orange,
California-based Long Beach Financial, parent of Long Beach Mortgage Co.  The
purchase expands Washington Mutual's presence in the specialty residential
mortgage market.
   Long Beach Mortgage originates, purchases, sells and services subprime
residential home mortgage loans.  These loans are generated through the
company's relationships with a nationwide network of mortgage brokers in 68
offices.  Long Beach Mortgage will retain its name and operate as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc.  At Sept. 30, 1999, Long Beach had
$522.3 million in assets.

     --On September 2, the company announced a strategic alliance with Fannie
Mae, under which the company will sell most of its fixed-rate conforming
mortgage loans to the nation's largest secondary market provider of mortgage
funds.
     --The company entered the final phase of its Y2K preparedness plans and
remains confident that it is ready to meet the new year without any material
disruption in service, Killinger said.
     --During the quarter, the company launched a new mortgage application
site, www.wamumortgage.com, which allows prospective customers to complete
loan applications online.  The mortgage site is linked to the company's
corporate site, www.wamu.com, which also provides access to PC Banking.  The
PC Banking service is now adding over 1,000 new customers per day.
OUTLOOK
     "Entering the final quarter of this millennium, Washington Mutual is
well-positioned for success in the year 2000 and beyond," Killinger said.
"Going forward, we anticipate continued momentum in new account growth and
noninterest income, strong loan originations and additional efficiencies as we
proceed with our follow-up integration activities.  Meanwhile, we expect to
continue to repurchase our common stock as it provides an attractive
alternative for capital deployment, particularly at current market prices."
     With a history dating back to 1889, Washington Mutual is a financial
services company that provides a diversified line of products and services to
consumers and small- to mid-sized businesses.  At Sept. 30, 1999, Washington
Mutual and its subsidiaries had consolidated assets of $180.80 billion.  The
company operates nearly 2,000 offices throughout the nation.
