Washington, D.C.

How did D.C. become the nations capital

Having lived in all three locations I can tell you the proper order for cost and wage levels are, from lowest to highest, Portland at the bottom , moving upward one finds Phoenix, And highest in both cost and wages is Washington D.C. Portland has lower wages and higher unemployment , Phoenix is more expensive but the wages are still low, however the job prospects are a tad better. Meanwhile, D.C. has very high wages and is more expensive but it is still the highest monitary return for your efforts at work. Portland can have high rents but nothing compared to Phoenix and way below D.C. Over all though it's a toss up as to what one considers affordable. My vote is for Portland. What you get in Portland is more bang for your buck because of location and amenities available vs. physical and mental output to achive a state of harmony with your view towards affordability.

It is 470 miles according to Google Maps.

Washington

For those with little knowledge of the United States of America, the DC in Washington DC stands for District of Columbia. That is the capital of the United States of America. It is the most important part of US American history. People must know what DC stands for.

The distance between Hudson and Washington DC is 343 miles and about 6 hours and 25 minutes in driving distance.

It depends on how you count them. Cairo, Egypt has about 7.8 million people.

Washington, DC has about 0.6 million people. That number is somewhat misleading, since the area of the district itself is relatively small; most people who work in Washington don't live in the federal district. The Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area includes about 8.2 million people.

Virginia and Maryland. DC used to be part of Maryland and is still mostly surrounded by that state.

It will take you about 1.25 hours to drive the 50 miles (80 km) between the two locations. Of course, that will depend on where you actually start and end your trip, the route you take, and how fast you drive. It also does not account for any stops you might make along the way for fuel and bodily functions.

It used to be, but the Virginia "side" of DC was ceded back to Viriginia. Now, all that's left is the former "Maryland side".

Oregon and Idaho are the two states that border Washington state.

Helmet-unsung

The District of Columbia itself is located near Northern Virginia (it is only about five miles from Arlington, VA) and within easy driving distance of Baltimore, Maryland (about forty-five miles). Washington DC also has two airports and an AMTRAK station, so it is not difficult to get to other cities.

The District of Columbia was created to be the capital, to remove it from the jurisdiction of any individual state and place it in the control of the Federal government. The site was chosen by George Washington
