Washington DC is neither a state nor is it within any other state. Washington DC is a federal District. Article One of the United States Constitution provides for a federal district, distinct from the states, to serve as the permanent national capital.
Washington DC was created when Maryland (and originally Virginia) donated land to the Federal Government to form the federal district. Subsequently the land Virginia provided (Alexandria VA) was returned to Virginia.
Washington DC is adjacent to both Maryland and Virginia.
