Washington, DC was established long before Washington the state came
along and was admitted to the union - from the Oregon territory. You'll
need to keep adding the state to Washington, or change its name, Jeff.
Stop whining.

BTW, I call DC that because I got sick of people thinking I
lived there when I said I lived in Washington. I shouldn't have to say
Washington State. Who says they live in Ohio State, or Illinois state,
or Tennessee State? And yes, those of us who live here tend to get a
little peeved at that presumption. The people who live in the nation's
capital live in the District of Columbia.
