Washington DC is a city

Washington is a state

George Washington was the first President of the United States and is the person the above two locations are named after.

If you are referring to the "Washington" in Washington, DC. The term is only historical. In DC's history, it used to be divided into 3 section, one being called Washington. This system has long be abolished and the entire city now shares the name Washington. It serves only to give the city a name
