A state in the
northwestern corner of the United States. Its capital is
Olympia and its largest city is Seattle.
The state of Washington is not to be confused with Washington, D.C. If you are talking about the state, just say "Washington." I HATE it when people call it
Washington State!
Two men, Jason and Mark, meet each other at
Yellowstone National Park and start talking.
Jason: Where are you from?
Mark: Washington.
Jason: Washington, D.C.?
Mark: No,
Washington State. If I was talking about
Washington D.C., I would have said Washington D.C.!
