Bump-WaMu Bank Runs.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')The queue to get into Washington Mutual's large Santa Monica branch on Wilshire Boulevard started forming half an hour before the bank opened yesterday, writes Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles. The anxious faces of those in the line highlighted the uncertainty now surrounding its future.

Washington Mutual has been beset by rumours it would be the next retail bank to fail following the collapse of California-based IndyMac earlier in the summer.

But Monday night's cut of its credit rating to "junk" status was enough to persuade many of those queuing yesterday to get their money out of the bank.

"As soon as they downgraded it I decided to come and was here at 7am," said Lewanne Elwes, an artist manager. "I can't go on waking up in the middle of the night all worried after watching the news . . . I'm tired of this.""
