Please note that Washington DC is not part of ANY state (not part of Virginia and not part of Maryland) it belongs to the federal government and it is on federal grounds.

The reason why the Federal Government cannot have its location on any state is so that it won't have any conflicts between the federal and state governments.

Is the District of Columbia different from other states in the US?

Yes. Washington DC is a Federal District, it is not a state. As a federal district DC does not get congressional representation. I.e. DC does not have any Congresspersons or any Senators. DC does get a single non-voting congressional delegate, who can participate in debate. Another difference is that Congress has the final say on all legal matters in the District. Any law enacted by the DC Government has to be approved (or at least not vetoed) by Congress.
