D.C. or the District.
I use "Washington" when referring to Washington state.

I'm in Maryland...everyone round here calls it D.C. because if you say Washington, everyone thinks you mean the state on the west coast.

When Marion Barry was mayor, they actually had signs at the borders saying. "Welcome to Washington, D.C. - The Chocolate City"
I heard that Mayor Nagin of New Orleans has taken that slogan now.

Either. But if they actually live in DC, they will probably tell you which neighborhood they live in.
