The Washington State Department of Revenue is seeking the owners of $9.8 million in deposits that went unclaimed after Washington Mutual failed in 2008.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) turned the funds over to the state recently, and the Department has mailed claim forms to the last known addresses of anyone with more than $75 in unclaimed deposits. It also has posted on its searchable database the names of businesses and individuals who have at least $25 in unclaimed assets.
The database can be searched here or here. Those without an internet connection can call 1-800-435-2429.
