Washington D.C is "Washington (in the) District of Columbia". Washington D.C. is not in any US state. The District of Columbia serves as it's "state" indication (such as for postal mail), even though D.C. is NOT a state.

The nearest city called Washington is Washington, Pennsylvania. Citizens of Washington, Pennsylvania still refer to their town as "Little Washington" (especially pre-1970), and referred to D.C. as "Big Washington",
