Washington DC is the seat of the federal government. It was formed pursuant to Article I of the Constitution. Article I not only grants Congress the exclusive right to legislate over the District (created by a cession of land from Maryland and Virginia), it also lays out the requirements for Senators and Representatives. One of the requirements is that Senators and Representatives represent States. Since Washington DC is a federal district and not a state, it has no Senators or Representatives. Note that the 23rd Amendment gives people living in Washington DC representation in presidential elections.
Like each of the United States, California has two senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and they both go to Washington. You may be confusing "senators" in the Senate with "representatives" in the House of Representatives, which together make up Congress. Representatives are elected from the states' districts, the number of which may increase with population growth, hence the House is the most populous chamber of Congress while the senate will always have one hundred senators.
