More branches available. No ATM charges.
Really though for almost any banking service, a credit union is the way to go. Credit unions almost always have better loan rates, cheaper services, better benefits, and most importantly, they don't fee you to death when you make a mistake like an overdraft.
My old bank used to charge me $29 when I made a late payment on my credit card or an overdraft on my checking account. My Credit union charges me $3 for an overdraft, and they don't charge a late fee on the credit card, unless I'm really late.
Credit unions have opened up their membership a lot in the last few years. Look them up in the yellow pages and just call and see if you qualify. Often living in a certain town or county is enough.

Advantages and disadvantanges differ; depending very much on what your requirements are. I would suggest you check out on their branches and ATMs; the more they have them, the more convenient if is for you to do your banking.

Your question can't be answered.
Washington Mutual vs. what other alternative(s)?
For what purpose? A loan. An investment? A deposit account?

More locations than a community bank I suppose.
