It's an awesome city located between Maryland and Virginia, and it is politically independent of those two (and any other) states. The City Government is crazy, and the east side has a lot of crime, but Northwest Washington DC is one of the prettiest cities in the country.

If the education system was up to par and had civic class, then most 9th graders should know that Washington, D.C. is a only a district unto it's self. It is not in a state and it is not a state. It is a area of land dedicated for the government to do business. Like neutral territory.

Washington D.C. is a separate entity. It was made out of land from both Maryland and Virginia. It was done that way so as to stay neutral in issues. Founding Fathers= smart cookies.

Washington D.C. is the District of Columbia and seperate from Maryland. At least that's the way I remember learning it in third grade !

Washington D.C. is not part of Maryland. The District of Columbia is its own entity.

DC was deliberately set apart from either state. The idea was that the national capital should not be a part of any state - previously it sat in Philadelphia and then New York City.

DC is the District of Columbia and is a state by itself. Maryland is a different state.
