There was never a state named Columbia.The region that later became the state of Washington was for a time referred to as Columbia. Washington was chosen instead for the name of the state to avoid confusion with the District of Columbia (great thinking there, guys).In fairness, officially "Washington" the city in the District of Columbia no longer exists (it was consolidated with Georgetown in 1871 and the city government is now formally just "the District of Columbia'), but the name hangs on (and nobody calls it just "Columbia" anyway).
Washington, D.C. is not a state. It is a district. Hence the name District of Columbia.
