Read the Tale of WaMu: “The Lost Bank”

Posted on June 14, 2012June 14, 2012 by The Tim

The Lost Bank: The Story of Washington Mutual-The Biggest Bank Failure in American HistoryLongtime readers or followers of Seattle real estate and/or local business may remember Kirsten Grind, a local reporter with the Puget Sound Business Journal who reported extensively on the latter-day problems and eventual failure of Washington Mutual.

Before leaving Seattle for New York to work for the Wall Street Journal, Kirsten put over a year of work into a 400-page tome detailing WaMu’s colossal implosion: The Lost Bank: The Story of Washington Mutual—The Biggest Bank Failure in American History

I’m about a third of the way through the book. I’m really enjoying it so far, and will be posting a detailed review here when I finish it, but I didn’t want to wait to give Kirsten a little free publicity and encourage my readers to go buy the book.

So… what are you waiting for? Go pick up a copy!
