Item 1. Business

Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I (the Partnership) is a limited  partnership  formed
on November 2, 1987 and organized under the laws of the State of Washington.

The  Partnership  raised  $3,511,000  from  the  sale of 703  units  of  limited
partnership  through  a  public  offering  completed  on  April  14,  1989.  The
Partnership   has  invested  as  a  limited  partner  in  eleven  other  limited
partnerships (Property Partnerships) which develop, own, and operate residential
apartment  complexes  located in small towns across the country.  Each apartment
complex benefits from several forms of federal assistance programs and qualifies
for low-income  housing credits (Tax Credits)  pursuant to the Internal  Revenue
Code by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. There are 331 partners in the Partnership.

The Partnership's  general partner is Murphey Favre  Properties,  Inc., (MFP), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of  Washington  Mutual Bank (WMB),  a wholly-  owned  subsidiary  of  Washington
Mutual, Inc.

Table A on page 4 lists the Property  Partnerships  in which the Partnership has
invested.  Item 7 of this Report  contains other  significant  information  with
respect to such Property Partnerships.

Each Property Partnership has, as its general partner  (developer),  one or more
individuals  or an  entity  not  affiliated  with  the  Partnership  or MFP.  In
accordance  with the  Partnership  Agreements  under  which  such  entities  are
organized,  the Partnership depends on the developers for the management of each
Property  Partnership.  As of December 31, 1997, the Property  Partnerships  and
their developers were:

Item  7.   Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations

During the year,  management's emphasis was on the continued operation of eleven
properties.  At December 31, 1997, four properties were 100% occupied, four were
were between 96% and 97%  occupied and three were between 85% and 88%  occupied.
In 1997, one property located in the state of Michigan, had an average occupancy
of 80% which reduced cash flow.  Property  Management  deferred  property  taxes
which were  delinquent at December 31, 1997.  Subsequent  to year end,  Property
Management requested RHS approval for use of reserve funds to pay the delinquent
taxes. This property will continue to be closely monitored by management.

The  properties  are located in rural towns with  populations of 14,000 or less.
Five  properties are located in Michigan,  three in Washington,  and one each in
Ohio,  West Virginia and Wisconsin.  The properties  range in size from 24 to 68
units for a total portfolio of 394 units.

Results of Operations

On a consolidated  basis, net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization
for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $96,827,  $12,241, and $12,570 respectively.  Rental
revenues  for 1997 were up 2.3% from 1996 as  compared to  increases  of 3% from
1995  to  1996,  and  3%  from  1994  to  1995.  Expenses  for  1997,  including
depreciation,  were up 0.9% over 1996, while expenses,  including  depreciation,
for 1996 and 1995 were up 1.8% and 3.1% over 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Partnership paid $25,726,  $22,226,  and $22,666, in accounting expenses for
the Partnership for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Interest  revenue for 1997 decreased .9% from 1996 and increased 3% from 1995 to
1996.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership completed its public offering of units of limited partnership on
April 14, 1989, with proceeds totaling $3,511,000 from 339 limited partners.  As
of December 31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  invested  $2,542,000  of offering
proceeds in eleven Property Partnerships.

Offering proceeds equal to $175,750 were reserved by the Partnership to fund its
operating  expenses.  As  of  December  31,  1997,  the  cash  reserves  of  the
Partnership totaled $8,195. It is expected that the Partnership will draw on the
reserves in future years to fund accounting and other operating  expenses of the
Partnership.  Nominal cash  distributions  from the Property  Partnerships  will
supplement  the cash  reserves.  In 1997, the  Partnership  received  $14,332 in
distributions from the Property  Partnerships.  The expectation is that all cash
distributions received from the Property Partnerships will be used to defray the
operating expenses of the Partnership and thus it is not likely any distribution
will be made to the limited partners.

The  Partnership  is not  required to fund  additional  amounts to the  Property
Partnerships based on each Property Partnership  agreement.  Additionally,  each
Property  Partnership  is operated  as an  individual  project,  and without any
contractual arrangements of any kind between the Property Partnerships. In 1997,
ten properties  generated  positive cash flow and one property generated deficit
cash  flow.  The  deficits  were  funded  from  rental  operating  cash and from
authorized withdrawals from the reserve accounts.

As of December 31, 1997, one developer general partner had advanced $14,209 to a
Property  Partnership  under the deficit  funding  agreement in place during the
guarantee  period.  The guarantee  periods ended in 1991 and 1992. The developer
general partners are no longer obligated to fund operating deficits.

The Property  Partnerships  financed  construction  with a  combination  of bank
financing and funds from the Partnership. The permanent loans for the properties
were  provided by the Farmers Home  Administration,  now known as Rural  Housing
Service  (RHS),  under  Section  515 of the  National  Housing  Act of 1949,  as
amended.  RHS  provides an interest  credit to the Property  Partnerships  which
reduces  the  interest  rates  stated in the  mortgage  notes to an  effective 1
percent rate over the lives of the mortgages. All property loans are current.

It is expected that capital  expenditures  on the properties  will be low in the
initial years because the properties are recently constructed (10 properties) or
rehabilitated (1 property). As part of RHS loan requirements,  a reserve account
is funded at an annual rate of 1% of the original  property  loan balance  until
the  balance  equals 10% of the  original  loan  balance.  Additions  to reserve
accounts are funded from  property  operations  and are  established  for future
capital  expenditures.

 <PAGE>
Included in cash deposits  on the  consolidated balance sheets were $8,195 and
$7,197  held as deposits by the Partnership in WMB accounts as of December 31,
1997 and  1996, respectively. As  discussed in Part I, Item 1, WMB is affiliated
with MFP.

There are no additional acquisitions nor any dispositions planned.

Regulatory Restrictions

Because the properties are operated under RHS loans and benefit from the federal
low-income housing tax credit program, the properties are restricted as to their
use and must comply with the requirements of the respective federal programs.

The tenants of all the properties  must be tax credit and RHS eligible  tenants.
It is management's goal to have all units, except for managers' units,  occupied
by  tax  credit  eligible   tenants.   In  order  to  meet  established   income
requirements,  tenants must not earn more than 60% of the median  income for the
areas in which the  properties are located.  Seven of the eleven  properties are
further restricted to renting apartment units only to senior citizens.

Additionally,  the properties  cannot be sold without prior approval of the RHS,
cannot  make  more  than an 8%  cash  distribution  annually  to its  owner  (as
described in Note 6 to the Partnership's financial statements),  and must remain
under  the  low-income  housing  tax  credit  program  for 15 years to avoid any
recapture of the low-income  housing tax credits.  Furthermore,  pursuant to RHS
loan  agreements,  RHS may  refuse  prepayment  of the  loans  and  require  the
properties be used for the purpose of providing  housing to eligible tenants for
a minimum period of 20 years.

Inflation

Operating  expenses  and  rental  revenues  of  each  property  are  subject  to
inflationary  factors.  Low rates of inflation  could result in rental  revenues
remaining  constant  or  increasing  at slower  rates  than in  periods  of high
inflation.  High  rates  of  inflation  raise  the  operating  expenses  of  the
properties, and to the extent the increased operating expenses are not passed on
to the tenants by rental increases, the properties' operation could be adversely
affected.


<PAGE>


Tax Credit

As of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, tax credits equal to 15.17%,  15.17% and
15.17%,  respectively,  of the limited partners' capital contributions have been
generated.

Partners
Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I
Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Assisted Housing
Fund L.P. I and its  subsidiaries,  as of December  31,  1997 and 1996,  and the
related  consolidated  statements of operations,  partners' equity (deficit) and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Assisted Housing
Fund L.P. I and its  subsidiaries,  as of December  31,  1997 and 1996,  and the
results of their  operations  and cash flows for the years  ended  December  31,
1997,  1996  and  1995,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

General
Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I (the  Partnership) is a limited  partnership  which
was  organized  November  2, 1987 under the laws of the state of  Washington  to
acquire  limited  partnership  interests  in other  partnerships  (the  Property
Partnerships), each of which has been organized to develop or purchase a low- or
moderate-income  apartment project. The Partnership's general partner is Murphey
Favre Properties,  Inc. (MFP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial,  Inc.,
which  is  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  Washington  Mutual  Bank  (WMB),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. As of December 31, 1997, 324
limited   partners  held  the  703  units  of  limited   partnership   interests
outstanding.

The   Partnership   has  invested  as  a  limited  partner  in  eleven  Property
Partnerships.  The  developer of each  apartment  project  serves as the general
partner (DGP) of the respective Property Partnership.

The  properties  owned by the  Property  Partnerships  are located in  Michigan,
Wisconsin,  Ohio, West Virginia and Washington. The properties were financed and
constructed   under  Section  515  of  the  National  Housing  Act,  as  amended
(administered  by the U.S.  Department of  Agriculture,  Rural  Housing  Service
(RHS)).  Under this program,  the Property  Partnerships provide housing to low-
and  moderate-income  tenants.  Lower rental charges to tenants are recovered by
the Property  Partnerships  through an interest  reduction program which reduces
the  effective  interest rate over the lives of the mortgages to 1 percent and a
rental  assistance  program  whereby RHS pays the  Property  Partnerships  for a
portion of qualified tenant rents.  Construction of the rental  properties began
between June, 1988 and May, 1990 and rental operations began between April, 1989
and February, 1991.

Additionally,  in exchange for an allocation of federal  low-income  housing tax
credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Property Partnership
has entered into an agreement with an agency of the state in which the apartment
project is located,  whereby the Property Partnership has agreed to maintain all
apartment units as both rent restricted and occupied by low-income tenants for a
minimum period of 15 years.

During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, rental revenue from RHS
totaled $435,076, $408,796 and $407,684, representing 28.4 percent, 27.2 percent
and 27.8 percent of total revenue, respectively.

                                                                         Page 6

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES -
(CONTINUED)

Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the financial statements of the Partnership and
the following eleven Property Partnerships in which it has invested as a limited
partner:

       Fairview Apartments Company Limited Partnership (Fairview)
       Ionia Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Ionia)
       Logan Apartments Company Limited Partnership (Logan)
       Rolling Brook II Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited
          Partnership (Rolling Brook)
       Wexford Manor Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership
          (Wexford)
       Blue Heron Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Blue Heron)
       Glenwood Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Glenwood)
       Pacific Place Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Pacific Place)
       Cove Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Cove)
       Washington Street Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited
          Partnership (Washington)
       Fayette Hills Limited Partnership (Fayette)

The  financial  statements  are  presented on a  consolidated  basis because the
Partnership holds  approximately 99 percent of the profit and loss interests and
approximately 55 percent of the equity  interests in each Property  Partnership.
Through  an  affiliate,  who is a  special  limited  partner  in  each of the 11
Property  Partnerships,  the Partnership controls certain fundamental  decisions
affecting  the  operation  of  the  Property  Partnerships.   These  fundamental
decisions  include  significant  purchases  of assets,  material  borrowings  or
creation  of  liens  on  the  underlying  properties,   entering  into  material
contracts,  making tax elections and any act that would cause termination of the
Property Partnership.  All material  interpartnership  transactions and balances
have been eliminated.  For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net
losses  allocable to the minority  partners were  $26,384,  $26,435 and $26,465,
respectively.





                                                                         Page 7

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES -
(CONTINUED)

Method of Accounting
The accrual method of accounting is used for financial statement purposes.

Cost Overruns
The partnership  agreements for the Property  Partnerships required the DGP's to
fund cost  overruns  on the  development  of the  rental  properties.  Such cost
overruns,  totaling  $589,462,  have been  recorded  as  minority  interests  in
partnerships  and have been  included in the cost basis of the rental  property.
All depreciation  related thereto has been specially allocated to the respective
DGP's.

Depreciation
Depreciation   is  computed  for   financial   statement   purposes   using  the
straight-line  method over the estimated  useful lives of the related  assets as
follows:

       Building shell and components.............. 27.5 years
       Land improvements...... ..................... 15 years
       Appliances............................... 7 - 10 years
       Carpets and draperies.................... 7 - 10 years

Income Taxes
No income tax  provision has been  included in the  financial  statements  since
income or loss of a  Partnership  is required  to be reported by the  respective
partners on their income tax returns.

Cash Equivalents
For  purposes  of the  statement  of  cash  flows,  all  investment  instruments
purchased  with a maturity  of three  months or less are  considered  to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were no cash equivalents.

Amortization
Costs  aggregating  $71,934  incurred in  connection  with  organization  of the
partnerships  have been capitalized and were amortized on a straight-line  basis
over a five-year period.








                                                                        Page 8

Estimates
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and assumption that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Terms of the RHS Loan  Agreements  require  each  DGP to  provide  interest-free
advances of  stipulated  amounts as initial  operating  capital to the  Property
Partnerships.  Due to affiliates  includes $152,107 of such advances at December
31, 1997 and 1996. In addition,  these balances  include DGP advances of $35,468
for land improvements and $14,209 to fund operating  deficits.  The remainder of
the balances include property management fees and reimbursements  payable to MFP
for partnership services and administration.

Advances  from the DGPs may only be repaid from the  proceeds of future sales of
the  respective  properties.  Property  management  fees are paid out of  rental
operations.  Partnership  fees and services are payable from future sales of the
properties,  to the  extent  they  are not paid  from  distributions  of  rental
operation cash (Note 6).

Under the  terms of  management  services  agreements,  affiliates  of the DGP's
provide management  services for the rental properties and receive  compensation
for such services in amounts approximating 8.4% of rental receipts.

NOTE 3 - CASH IN RESERVE ACCOUNTS

The Loan  Agreements  between  the  Property  Partnerships  and RHS  require the
Property  Partnerships  to  deposit  $126,889  annually  into  separate  reserve
accounts until the reserve accounts reach  $1,268,211.  Subject to RHS approval,
these funds may be used for various  purposes,  as further described in the Loan
Agreements.  Nine of the eleven Property Partnerships are in compliance with the
minimum funding requirements as set forth by RHS for the year ended December 31,
1997 and ten of the eleven Property Partnerships for the year ended December 31,
1996. The reserve account  balances for the Property  Partnerships  that did not
meet the annual funding requirements did, however,  exceed the required balances
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  as a result of excess  deposits made in prior
years.  All  withdrawals  were  approved  by RHS and  used  for  their  intended
purposes.

NOTE 4 - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

The mortgage notes are payable to RHS in monthly installments  totaling $26,550.
In  accordance  with  provisions  of Interest  Credit  Agreements,  RHS provides
monthly interest credits totaling $69,199 which reduce the interest rates stated
in the  mortgage  notes to  effective  rates of 1 percent  over the lives of the
mortgages.  Amortization  of  principal is based on the stated rates of 8.75% to
10.75%  under RHS's  Predetermined  Amortization  Schedule  System  (PASS).  The
mortgage notes mature May, 2039 through January, 2040.  Substantially all of the
rental  property and  equipment is pledged as collateral  on the  mortgages.  No
partner is personally liable on the mortgage notes.

The mortgage notes are regulated by the U.S.  Government and therefore,  have no
market price. Accordingly, management has determined that users of the financial
statements  would  derive  no  benefit  from  any  estimate  of fair  value  and
performing such an analysis would not be practicable.

Principal payments on the mortgage notes for the next 5 years are as follows:

                           Year                      Amounts

                           1998                    $    26,844
                           1999                         29,361
                           2000                         32,115
                           2001                         35,113
                           2002                         38,422
                           2003 and later years     12,213,615
                                                   -----------

                                                   $12,375,470

NOTE 5 - ASSESSMENT PAYABLE

In September,  1995, the city of Bainbridge Island issued an assessment for Blue
Heron's share of street and utility  improvements in the amount of $68,569.  The
assessment is payable in 10 equal annual installments  together with interest at
the rate of 5.6 percent.  At December 31, 1997, the fair value of the assessment
approximates the amount recorded in the financial statements.

NOTE 5 - ASSESSMENT PAYABLE - (CONTINUED)

Principal payments on the assessment for the next 5 years are as follows:

                           Year                       Amount

                           1998                    $ 6,857
                           1999                      6,857
                           2000                      6,857

                           2003 and later years     20,570
                                                   -------
                                                   $54,855

NOTE 6 - RENTAL OPERATION CASH

RHS regulations  limit the distribution of rental operation cash to a maximum of
$38,090 annually. Any distribution to the Partnership from rental operation cash
is to be made in accordance with the respective partnership agreements.  Whether
or not a Property  Partnership  makes any limited  distribution  is based on the
results of its own operations and is at the discretion of the DGP.

NOTE 7 - GUARANTEES

Each of the DGP's has made a guarantee to the  respective  Property  Partnership
that they will  compensate the  Partnership  in the event the actual  low-income
housing  tax  credit is less than 85% to 90% of the  available  credit.  Through
December 31, 1997, no payments have been made under these guarantee agreements.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCY

The Partnership has ceased accrual of the annual partnership administration fee,
payable in part to the  general  partner.  Management  has  determined  that the
source of payment,  a future sale or  refinance  of one or more of the  Property
Partnerships,  may not be  sufficient  to pay  fees  accrued  in  excess  of the
$544,540 payable at December 31, 1996.  Management has elected to treat fees for
years  subsequent  to  1996  as  a  contingent  liability.  The  Partnership  is
contingently  liable for partnership  administration fees of $74,517 at December
31, 1997.
