Becuase it is Washington, District of Colombia. Washington D.C. actually isn't a city- it's a district within the city of Colombia. But seing as it is largely Gonvermnet, it gets to show up on a map. Kind of like how the Vatican is posted on a map as well, even though it is within the city of Rome, Italy.
