                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1994


NOTE A: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- - ---------------------------
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (WRIT) has elected to qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code.  WRIT intends to
distribute at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income and, accordingly, no
income tax provisions are made on ordinary income.

Cash equivalents consist of investments readily convertible to known amounts of
cash generally with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Depreciation expense for Federal income tax purposes differs from that reported
for financial statement purposes due to the use of different lives and
depreciation methods and because certain properties were acquired by tax free
exchanges.

Buildings and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives not exceeding 50 and 30 years, respectively.


NOTE B: MARKETABLE INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- - ----------------------------------------
Marketable investment securities are considered available for sale and at June

NOTE E:  LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE
- - -------------------------------
On June 1, 1994 WRIT obtained an unsecured credit commitment from a bank in the
amount of $20,000,000 for the express purpose of purchasing income producing
property.  On June 1, 1994, WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 on this credit facility
for the acquisition of Tycon Plaza and on June 30, 1994, WRIT borrowed an
additional $9,000,000 for the purchase of The Shoppes of Foxchase.  Interest
only is payable monthly on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of Libor
plus 1.10%.  At June 30, 1994 this rate was approximately 5.7%.  All unpaid
principal and interest are due on June 30, 1995.

      ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
WRIT's fundamental emphasis is on long-term growth of cash flow from operating
activities.  Dividends to shareholders are based upon these cash flows.  WRIT's
capital improvement program, strong leasing and management, and acquisitions of
additional properties are the major contributors to the sustained growth of
cash flows.

Occupancy rates have a major impact on rental revenue.  Other factors such as
new or renewal leases at higher rates, CPI based annual rent increases,
increases in rentable space, tenant sales, new property acquisitions and
certain other capital expenditures also influence rental revenue.

Income from real estate in the second quarter of 1994 of $6,522,533 increased
9% compared with $5,968,129 for the second quarter of 1993.  This increase is
primarily attributable to the Heritage Business Park acquired in November,
1993, the Tycon Plaza Office Buildings acquired June 1, 1994, and to continued
improvement in occupancy levels within the WRIT portfolio.

Income before Gain on Sale of Real Estate for the three months ended June 30,
1994 in the amount of $5,827,737 or $.21 per share increased 4.4% from
$5,580,892 or $.20 per share from the comparable quarter of 1993.

The average occupancy of 95% for the year 1993 increased to 96% for the first
six months of 1994. This is compared to 94% for the first six months  of 1993.

Real estate operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was 29.7% for the
first six months of 1994 as compared to 29.5% for the first six months of 1993.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue have remained relatively stable.

At March 31, 1994, a marketable investment security was written down to its
estimated realizable value, resulting in a charge of $799,571 to operations in
the first quarter of 1994.  This security was sold in May, 1994 for
approximately its March 31, 1994 net realizable value.

Interest expense was $41,506 for the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
line of credit borrowing on June 1, 1994 for the acquisition of Tycon Plaza.
There was no interest expense in the second quarter of 1993 due to the
prepayment of WRIT's only remaining mortgage in April, 1993.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- - -------------------------------
In recent years, WRIT has utilized equity stock offerings and cash flow from
operations for its capital needs.  The WRIT philosophy has been to acquire real
estate with strong growth potential and to improve its real estate holdings
through carefully planned additions or enhancements to generate higher rental
income, to reduce operating expenses or both.  Capital improvements of
$3,376,457 were completed in the first six months of 1994, including tenant
improvements and continuing enhancements.

In February 1994, WRIT purchased land adjacent to its Wheaton Park shopping
center for a total cost of $173,000.  WRIT plans to add additional retail and
parking space to the center.  On June 1, 1994 WRIT acquired Tycon Plaza in
Vienna, Virginia at a contract purchase price of $21,250,000.  Tycon Plaza
consists of two (2) office buildings containing approximately 293,000 rentable
square feet.  WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 and invested $12,800,000 of its own
funds for the purchase.  On June 30, 1994 WRIT acquired The Shoppes of Foxchase
in Alexandria, Virginia at a contract purchase price of $8,800,000.  The center
has 123,000 rentable square feet.  WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 for this
acquisition.

After the acquisition of Tycon Plaza in June, 1994 the remainder of cash and
marketable investment securities was approximately $4,056,849 at June 30, 1994.

Management believes that it has the liquidity and the capital resources
necessary to meet all of its known obligations and to make additional property
acquisitions when appropriate.  WRIT continues to pursue acquisition
opportunities and capital improvement projects to enhance long-term growth.
