It's a city.... ...Washington, D.C. - capital of the United States (2000 pop. 572,059), coextensive (since 1878, when Georgetown became a part of Washington) with the District of Columbia, on the Potomac River; inc. 1802. The city is the center of a metropolitan area (1990 pop. 3,923,574) extending into Maryland and Virginia. With the city of Baltimore to its north in Maryland, it forms a consolidated metropolitan area of some 6.7 million people. Washington is the legislative, administrative, and judicial center of the United States but has little industry; its business is government, and hundreds of thousands are so employed in the metropolitan area. The city is also a major tourist attraction and a cultural center.

Washington D.C. is the Capital of the United States of America. It is a District as in District of Columbia. It is not part of any State it is under the direct Jurisdiction of the US Congress.

None of the above. It's considered a separate district that was carved out specifically to provide a place to locate the capital. There has periodically been talk of admitting D.C. to the Union as a state, but so far nothing's come of it.

Washington, DC is not considered a state and it is not considered part of the Maryland or Virginia.
It is simply considered and referred to as the 'District of Columbia'. I live in Washington, DC and that is why we have license plates that say 'taxation without representation' because we pay taxes but we don't have voting rights here. Since we are not considered a state we don't have a Senator in Congress who can fight for our interests. However, it does have its advantages. If you have residency in Washington, DC you can attend ANY state university in the U.S. and pay in-state tuition.

Not a state. It's considered a "District". It is not part of Maryland. It was a federal government deal.

Washington, DC (district of Columbia) is the capitol of the united states. its a city in maryland. the district of columbia is a political boundary within the state, just like holland is a political country, its not a physical country. you wont find holland on a map, and only good maps will show the district of columbia.
im not 100% sure about this, but its what ive been taught.

DC is in it's own Federal District.
Just like Mexico City is in the Federal District.
It borders Maryland on Western Ave, Southern Ave, & Eastern Ave.
It borders Virginia on the Potomac River.

You could have quickly and easily found this information if you'd google it, but here ya go: It is not part of any state. It was formed as a "federal district", separate from any state, so that it would remain neutral.

It is considered a district. Hence the D.C. part. It means District of Columbia. I think. It is not part of any state, nor is it considered a state. It is a district of the federal government. That is all.
