Longtime 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!
