------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A press release issued by the Registrant on July 19, 2006, regarding earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Also, certain supplemental information not included in the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2. This information is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. This information is not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not incorporated by reference into any Securities Act registration statements.

This amendment is being filed to correct an error in exhibit 99.1. The paragraph headed “Earnings Guidance” should have read:

WRIT is lowering it’s previously issued 2006 FFO per share guidance to $2.11-$2.14 from $2.17-$2.20. The reduction in FFO is due primarily to the second quarter charges of $0.05 related to the severance of a senior executive and the full expensing of second quarter 2006 share grants issued to the CEO in accordance with FAS 123(R), “Share Based Payments”. Additional FAS 123 (R) charges are expected in the second half of the year. WRIT’s operating portfolio continues to perform as expected.

The FFO per share guidance previously read: $2.12 to $2.15.
