Washington is a city in the District of Columbia (DC).
DC is not a state, it is a federal district. It was formed specifically so that no state would hold the capital of the USA.

It is a city located in the state of Maryland.
Washington, D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the District of Columbia, the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States.

It's neutral territory. It was a compromise between Northern and Southern states and took from all of the states around it. The Constitution sets it apart as a separate federal "district", outside of any state. Because it's not a state, people there don't get to vote for congress and its license plates complain about "taxation without representation."
