Banks Future Washington Mutual

A pedestrian walks past a mural depicting "bank day" in 1923 at a local school, at a Washington Mutual Inc. bank branch in West Seattle. WaMu, which was taken over last week by JP Morgan Chase & Co., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The mural was painted in 1992 by artist Alan Wylie.
