BOSTON Washington Mutual said it has selected Publicis Groupe’s Leo Burnett in Chicago as its advertising agency following a review. Estimated billings are $100 million.

The client also considered Publicis in Seattle in the final round of a competition led by Select Resources International of Santa Monica, Calif.
