Washington D.C. is not technically located in any state, as per the intention of its establishment. This is so it would be fair to all states and that no one state would host the capital of the country. It is under the jurisdiction of the Congress and not any state.

Neither. Washington DC is a Federal District that was created in 1870 from land ceded by the state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Subsequent the land originally provided by the commonwealth was returned (or retroceded). Washington DC lies between Maryland and Virginia.
