Difference between Washington D.C. and Washington state

Did you know that Washington and Washington D.C. are not the same thing?

[FiveMissiles]

Washington originally wanted to call itself Columbia, but didnt want to be confused with the district of columbia. instead they opted with Washington. then DC changed their name to washington dc

One is a state and the other is a federal city.

As someone who lives in Washington state, yes, I know they are different things.

As a resident of the District I just assume everyone knows the difference!😂

Umm so confusing. So there is a Washington on the left of the map and the right of the map? How does one know which one to go to? 😅😅

The city version should be moved to Washington state

I always thought the white House was located in Washington state and it was the capital

Boy. Wish I had known that before. Kamala Harris needs to be told. But I have one question, do kid’s in both places go to school in yellow school buses?

So this is how stupid we Americans have become, that DC and Washington State are not the same!!???😮😮😢😢😢

[aisle_of_view]

So the capitol of the US is on the west coast?

[arizonabarb]

Mexico does not have a Federal District anymore. Tha is not good in my opinion.
