Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by Washington Mutual, Inc. (the “Company”) on October 17, 2007 corrects certain information contained on pages 3, 10, and 11 of that document, as presented in management’s prepared remarks (the “Prepared Remarks”), which were furnished as Exhibit 99.3.  Pages 3, 10, and 11 of the Prepared Remarks, as corrected, are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

On page 3 of the Prepared Remarks, the Retail Banking Households chart reflected the following:

·                  Number of Retail Banking Households in the third quarter of 2007 as “9.974 million.”

·                  Net Change in Retail Households in the third quarter of 2007 as “179,000.”

·                  Cross Sell Ratio in the third quarter of 2007 as “7.10.”

As corrected, the Retail Banking Households chart reflects the following:

·                  Number of Retail Banking Households in the third quarter of 2007 is 9.955 million.

·                  Net Change in Retail Households in the third quarter of 2007 is 161,000.

·                  Cross Sell Ratio in the third quarter of 2007 is 7.13.

The second paragraph under Yield Curve and Net Interest Margin on page 10 of the Prepared Remarks stated:

“Historically, 3-month LIBOR has tracked approximately 10 to 30 basis points above the Fed Funds rate but at quarter end this spread had widened to 52 basis points.”

As corrected, that sentence should read as follows:

“Historically, 3-month LIBOR has tracked approximately 10 to 30 basis points above the Fed Funds rate but at quarter end this spread had widened to 48 basis points.”

                                                The table below the Net Interest Margin graph on page 11 of the Prepared Remarks reflected the Spread in the third quarter of 2007 as “0.52%.”  As corrected, page 11 reflects the Spread in the third quarter of 2007 as 0.48%.

The information in the preceding paragraphs, as well as Exhibit 99.1, is considered to be “furnished” under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
