If you have a burning problem, say you’re stuck overseas with your credit cards stolen and no one at Washington Mutual will help you, these are the cats to contact:

Executive Response Team
Customer Relations Manager
Washington Mutual Bank
(800) 225-5497 Opt. 1 Ext. 467
Fax (206) 965-3082

UPDATE: Actually, wouldn’t you know it, the 1-800 number wouldn’t help you overseas, as a reader points out. In that case, you could try

(206) 377-8196, (206) 461-2000, (206) 461-6414, or (206) 461-8779. You can try asking for Ms Cindy Modica, VP of Quality Service Management
