Yes & NO.

Yes: DC is "sitting" on defunct Maryland territory. No: it was annexed in 1791 from Maryland. (NW/SW DC is former Montgomery County & NE/SE DC is former Prince George's County). No, but the land currently defined as D.C. was originally part of Maryland and would probably revert to Maryland if the Federal Government, D.C. residents or Maryland wished to change the status of D.C. (as happened in 1846 with the portions of Northern Virginia that used to be part of D.C. reverting back to Virginia) wikipedia --- > Maryland Retrocession.

No, Washington, DC borders Maryland and Virginia but is part of neither state. It is US Government land that is part of neither state and governed seperately.

Washington state is the northwest corner of the United States.
