WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST EXTENDS

CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR UNSECURED NOTES

ROCKVILLE, Md.—June 19, 2007—Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (WRIT) (NYSE: WRE) announced today that it has extended its previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the terms of its outstanding unsecured notes (collectively, the “Notes”).

The consents are being solicited from holders of record of the Notes at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2007. The extended Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2007 or at the time at which the Trust has validly delivered and unrevoked consents from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (“the Requisite Consents”), unless the consent solicitation is further extended. Holders of the Notes that have validly provided consents do not need to take further action in light of the extension.

If all conditions to the Consent Solicitation are satisfied, holders of Notes who validly deliver (and do not validly revoke) their consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation by the Expiration Date will be paid the applicable consent fees, as set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, which are based on the maturity date of the applicable Notes.

The Trust will not be required to pay any consent fees unless certain conditions have been satisfied, including the receipt by the Trust of the consent of holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture.

RBS Greenwich Capital is serving as the Solicitation Agent for the Consent Solicitation. The Information Agent is Global Bondholder Services Corporation. Any questions or requests for assistance or additional copies of documents may be directed to RBS Greenwich Capital at (203) 618-6438 or to the Information Agent via collect call at (212) 430-3774 or (866) 470-3700.

This news release does not constitute an offering of Notes or any other security of the Trust or any solicitation to purchase or sell any securities, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities, including, without limitation, the Notes. The Consent Solicitation is being made only by means of the Statement dated June 12, 2007.
