This was a bonus question from a fifth grade teacher and that is the way she wrote it! I just thought since wash. d.c is not in a state it would be the right answer. A trick question for sure.

It can't be Washington D.C. because every city can't also be a state - unless there are different cities throughout the U.S. that have the same names of states.

City States went out with the Greeks. Washington, DC is the only city (in US, I assume) not within a state. All the other cities are not states... but are within states.

no city in the usa is a state lol, they are within a state. what I think you are referring to is washington dc, not a state, but a district unto itself.....a state yet not a state. hope this helped!
