                                         For Immediate Release

                     Washington Trust Announces 14% Increase
                             In 2nd Quarter Earnings

Westerly, Rhode  Island...Washington  Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: WASH), parent
company of The  Washington  Trust  Company,  today reported net income of $4.574
million for the three months ended June 30, 2003,  up 14 percent from the $4.024
million reported for the second quarter of 2002. On a diluted earnings per share
basis, the Corporation earned 34 cents for the three months ended June 30, 2003,
compared to 31 cents per diluted  share for the second  quarter of 2002. In June
2003, the Corporation incurred an after tax charge of $649 thousand,  or 5 cents
per diluted share,  related to the  prepayment of certain  higher  interest rate
Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances.  Excluding  this  special  item in 2003 and
excluding  merger  related  charges of $417  thousand  after tax, or 3 cents per
diluted share,  in the second quarter 2002,  earnings for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 were $5.223 million, or 39 cents per diluted share, as compared to
$4.441 million, or 34 cents per share, for the same period a year ago.

The return on average  assets and return on average  equity for the three months
ended  June 30,  2003  were  1.01% and  13.57%,  compared  to 1.03% and  13.68%,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

John C. Warren,  Washington Trust's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated,
"We're  pleased with our second quarter  results.  They reflect the Bank's solid
performance  throughout  our lines of business,  and our success in  maintaining
excellent  asset  quality  in  a  challenging   economic   environment.   Strong
residential loan sale gains afforded us the opportunity to prepay certain higher
interest  rate  borrowings  to reduce our future  borrowing  costs,  while still
realizing a respectable increase in earnings."

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $9.3  million,  or
70 cents per diluted share, as compared to $7.8 million, or 62 cents per diluted
share for the same period in 2002.  Excluding the 2003 debt  prepayment  charges
and the 2002 merger related charges described  previously,  earnings for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $10.0 million, or 75 cents per diluted share,
as compared to $8.2 million, or 65 cents per diluted share for the corresponding
period in 2002.

The return on average  assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was similar
to that of the same period a year ago,  1.04% as  compared  to 1.07%,  while the
return on average  equity  declined to 14.06% for the six months  ended June 30,
2003, as compared to 14.27% for the same period in 2002.

Net  interest  income for the second  quarter of 2003  increased by 6 percent to
$12.3 million from the second quarter of 2002.  Net interest  income for the six
months  ended June 30,  2003  amounted to $24.2  million,  up 15% from the $21.0
million  reported for the  corresponding  2002 period,  largely due to the April
2002  acquisition of First  Financial  Corp. The increase in net interest income
was due to earning  asset  growth,  however net  interest  income was  adversely
affected by a decline in the net interest  margin.  The net interest  margin for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to 2.97%,  down 22 basis points from
the 3.19%  reported for the same period a year ago. The net interest  margin has
been affected by the significant decline in market interest rates and reflects a
decline in yields on loans and securities offset somewhat by lower funding costs
of interest-bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Noninterest  income,  excluding net realized gains on  securities,  totaled $7.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, up 29 percent from the $5.4 million
reported for the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003,
noninterest income amounted to $12.8 million, an increase of 23 percent from the
comparable 2002 amount of $10.3 million.

                                  --M O R E--

The growth in noninterest  income was attributable to increases in gains on loan
sales and service charges on deposits.  For the first six months of 2003,  gains
on loan sales  amounted to $2.7  million,  an increase of $1.8  million from the
same  period  in  2002.  As a result  of the  decline  in  interest  rates,  the
Corporation has experienced heavy residential  mortgage activity,  predominantly
refinancing, which increased the amount of loans sold into the secondary market.
The Corporation  expects this activity to remain strong during the third quarter
of 2003,  however  this  level of  activity  may not be  sustainable  in  future
periods.  For the six months  ended June 30,  2003,  service  charges on deposit
accounts  amounted to $2.4  million,  up $646  thousand  from the  corresponding
period in 2002.  Growth in deposits and changes in the fee  structure of various
deposit products were contributing factors in this increase.  Revenue from trust
and  investment  management  services  continues to be the largest  component of
noninterest  income.  Trust and investment  management income,  which is closely
tied to the performance of the financial  markets,  totaled $5.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003,  essentially  unchanged from the amount reported
for the corresponding  period in 2002.  Revenue growth has slowed reflecting the
financial  market  declines.  Trust and investment  assets under  administration
amounted  to $1.576  billion at June 30,  2003,  compared  to $1.524  billion at
December 31, 2002.

The  Corporation  recognized net realized gains on securities  amounting to $400
thousand and $381 thousand in the second quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively,
related  to  annual  contributions  of  appreciated  equity  securities  to  the
Corporation's charitable foundation. The costs associated with the contributions
amounted  to $433  thousand  and  $403  thousand  and  were  included  in  other
noninterest expenses in the second quarter of 2003 and 2002,  respectively.  For
the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,  net realized  gains on  securities
totaled $630 thousand and $672 thousand, respectively.

For the second quarter of 2003,  noninterest  expenses totaled $12.8 million, up
$1.4 million from the amount of noninterest expenses reported for second quarter
of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003,  noninterest  expenses amounted
to $23.8 million,  up $3.2 million from the comparable 2002 amount.  Included in
noninterest  expenses  in the  second  quarter  of 2003  were $941  thousand  in
prepayment  penalty  charges  associated  with the prepayment of certain Federal
Home Loan Bank advances  totaling $23 million.  The prepayment of certain higher
interest rate  borrowings was  consummated in June 2003 to reduce future funding
costs.  The  Corporation  expects  that this debt  restructuring  will result in
future interest expense savings of approximately  $510 thousand on an annualized
basis  over the  remaining  term of the  prepaid  debt.  Included  in the second
quarter of 2002 were $605 thousand of  acquisition  costs incurred in connection
with  acquisition  of First  Financial  Corp.  Exclusive of the debt  prepayment
penalties in 2003 and the acquisition costs in 2002, the increase in noninterest
expenses was primarily due to normal growth and higher operating costs resulting
from the acquisition of First Financial Corp. Salaries and benefits, the largest
component of total  noninterest  expense,  amounted to $13.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the $11.6 million reported for the first
six months of 2002.

In the first six months of 2003,  total loans  increased $27.7 million to $822.8
million at June 30, 2003.  Consumer loans increased $11.3 million, or 9 percent,
from the balance at December  31, 2002,  primarily  due to growth in home equity
lines. Commercial loans increased $12.6 million, or 3 percent, to $394.8 million
at June 30, 2003. Residential real estate loans were impacted by the refinancing
of fixed rate  residential  loans being sold into the  secondary  market.  Total
residential  real estate loans  amounted to $284.6  million at June 30, 2003, up
from $280.9 million at December 31, 2002.

Total securities were $846.9 million at June 30, 2003, up $51.1 million from the
December 31, 2002  balance.  The increase in  securities  was  primarily  due to
purchases of  mortgage-backed  securities,  corporate bonds and U.S.  government
agency securities.

Total  deposits at June 30, 2003  amounted to $1.136  billion,  up $25.7 million
from the December 31, 2002 balance of $1.110 billion. Demand deposits rose $26.3
million,  or 17  percent,  in the first six  months of 2003 and  totaled  $183.8
million at June 30, 2003. Savings deposits increased $11.5 million from December
31, 2002 and amounted to $482.9 million at June 30, 2003. Time deposits amounted
to $469.5  million at June 30, 2003,  down from the December 31, 2002 balance of
$481.6  million.  In the six months ended June 30, 2003,  Federal Home Loan Bank
advances increased $63.8 million to $543.9 million at June 30, 2003.

Asset quality  continues to be strong, as measured by the level of nonperforming
assets.  Nonaccrual  loans as a percentage  of total loans at June 30, 2003 were
..38%,  compared to .53% at December 31, 2002.  Similarly,  nonperforming  assets
(nonaccrual  loans and property  acquired  through  foreclosure) as a percent of
total assets at June 30, 2003  amounted to .17%, as compared to .24% at December
31, 2002. The Corporation's  allowance for loan losses amounted to $15.7 million
at June 30, 2003, compared to $15.5 million at December 31, 2002.

Total shareholders'  equity amounted to $135.2 million at June 30, 2003, up from
$128.7  million at December 31,  2002.  Book value per share as of June 30, 2003
and December 31, 2002 amounted to $10.31 and $9.87, respectively.

Note: This press release contains  financial  information  determined by methods
other than in accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United  States of America  ("GAAP").  The  Corporation's  management  uses these
non-GAAP  measures  in its  analysis  of the  Corporation's  performance.  These
measures  typically adjust GAAP  performance  measures to exclude the effects of
charges and  expenses  related to the  consummation  of  acquisitions  and costs
related to the integration of merged entities.  These non-GAAP measures also may
exclude other  significant  gains or losses that are unusual in nature.  Because
these items and their impact on the  Corporation's  performance are difficult to
predict,  management believes that presentations of financial measures excluding
the  impact of these  items  provide  useful  supplemental  information  that is
essential  to  a  proper   understanding   of  the  operating   results  of  the
Corporation's  core  businesses.  These  disclosures  should  not be viewed as a
substitute  for operating  results  determined in accordance  with GAAP, nor are
they  necessarily  comparable  to  non-GAAP  performance  measures  that  may be
presented  by  other   Corporations.   A  quantitative   reconciliation  of  the
differences between the non-GAAP financial  information discussed herein and the
most  directly  comparable  financial  information  calculated  and presented in
accordance with GAAP is contained in the Financial Summary  statements  attached
to this press release.

statements"  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as

Corporation's   actual  results,   performance  or  achievements   could  differ
materially from those projected in the  forward-looking  statements as a result,
among  other  factors,  of changes  in general  national  or  regional  economic
conditions,  changes in interest rates,  reductions in the market value of trust

necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments,  changes in the
size and nature of the  Corporation's  competition,  changes in loan default and
charge-off   rates  and  changes  in  the   assumptions   used  in  making  such
forward-looking statements.
