Best Answer

There is a Washington state on the Pacific coast of America on the border of Canada.

The DC after the name of the capital is primarily to distinguish the capital from the state.

Washington is on the eastern side of the USA, and DC stands for District of Columbia.

Washington is technically part of the state of Virginia, but acts under it's own local government as a separate district.
