No, it's a "territory". It is controlled by two levels of government (the US Federal Government and the city authorities), pays taxes, has Federal Courts and citizens of the city are US Citizens. It is not represented in Congress; it sends delegates to Congress but they can't vote on new laws. Citizens can vote in Presidential Elections; the district is entitled to 3 electors.

No, it isn't a state. It is a special district located in the state of VA. The founding fathers wanted a special area just for the federal capital so the area of Washington, DC was created. It is a city that didnt exist when Washington was President.
